U0D72

U+0D72 is a Unicode code point in the Malayalam block of the Unicode standard. The Malayalam block, which covers the range from U+0D00 to U+0D7F, is used for writing the Malayalam language and several other languages that use the Malayalam script. U+0D72 represents a single character within that script and its exact identity, formal name, and general category are defined in the Unicode Character Database. Because many Malayalam characters have specific names and sometimes combine with virama or vowel signs, the glyph and behavior of U+0D72 in text depend on the font and rendering system in use.

In text processing, U+0D72 participates in the script’s orthographic rules. Malayalam is a Brahmic script with unique conventions for consonant clusters, dependent vowels, and ligatures, so proper display often requires a shaping engine that supports the Malayalam script. The character’s appearance can vary across fonts, and its interaction with neighboring characters can influence its rendering in complex scripts.

For precise information, including the official Unicode name, general category, numeric value (if any), and decomposition data, refer to the Unicode Standard’s code charts and the Unicode Character Database. These resources provide authoritative details about U+0D72 and all other code points in the Malayalam block. See also the Malayalam script and the broader Unicode documentation for context on how Malayalam characters are organized and rendered in digital text.
