Oriya Vowel Sign E Letter Meaning
The character “େ” (ORIYA VOWEL SIGN E, U+0B47) is a combining vowel sign in the Oriya script. It modifies a base consonant by attaching an “e” vowel sound to it, rather than standing alone like an independent vowel letter. Because it is a combining sign, it is typically used immediately after the consonant it should affect in the written sequence. In fonts and rendering engines, the vowel sign is positioned above or alongside the related consonant according to the script’s typographic rules.
