Tamil Vowel Sign Oo Letter Meaning
Tamil “ோ” (Unicode U+0BCB) is a vowel sign that represents the /oo/ sound when applied to a Tamil consonant. Like other Tamil vowel signs, it is not typically used alone; instead, it modifies the preceding consonant to create a complete syllable. In layouts and typography, it visually appears attached to the consonant (often positioned to the right), which means spacing and font rendering matter for proper display. For digital work—web, apps, forms, and social posts—use the exact Unicode character (or the provided HTML/CSS/JavaScript escapes) to avoid incorrect glyphs or broken text.
Common uses
