U+A885 "ꢅ" Saurashtra Letter Ii Unicode Character

U+A885 "ꢅ" Saurashtra Letter Ii is a character from the Saurashtra script, which was historically used to write the Saurashtra language in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. This specific character represents the long vowel sound "ii" (similar to the "ee" in "see") and is part of the Saurashtra block added to the Unicode Standard in version 5.1, released in 2008. The Saurashtra script itself is a Brahmic abugida, and this letter is used to transcribe the extended vowel in words of the Saurashtra language, aiding in preserving the written form of this endangered Dravidian language.
