Oriya Vowel Sign Au Letter Meaning
ୌ is known in Unicode as ORIYA VOWEL SIGN AU (U+0B4C). As a vowel sign, it modifies the way an Odia letter is pronounced when combined with the appropriate base character. In practice, the vowel sign is used in Odia text to indicate the “au” vowel value as part of the written word. Because vowel signs are combining/orthographic marks, the exact visual result depends on the surrounding characters and the font/shaping support in your application. For reliable display, use a Unicode-capable font and render the full Odia sequence, not just the sign in isolation.
