Tamil Au Length Mark Letter Meaning

The Tamil AU Length Mark (ௗ) is a Tamil script sign associated with the vowel “au” and is used to represent a length distinction in written Tamil. In everyday typing and content creation, this character is less common than basic consonant/vowel letters, but it matters for accuracy in names, words, and properly encoded Tamil typography. When composing text in Unicode-aware applications, the mark should be used exactly as a standalone character wherever the orthography requires the “au” length. For developers and designers, it is encoded at U+0BD7 (HTML entity ௗ), so it can be reliably searched, copied, and rendered with a Unicode Tamil-supporting font.

Common uses

  • Accurate Tamil word rendering in Unicode text editors
  • Digital typography for Tamil layouts and publishing
  • Proofing and correcting Tamil spelling in text processing workflows
  • Authoring content where “au” vowel length is required (names and terms)
