Dogra Letter E

On Linux with GTK, use Unicode input.

For Dogra Unicode input on GNOME or another GTK desktop, press Ctrl+Shift+u, type 11806, then press Space or Enter. On macOS, built-in Unicode Hex Input accepts only four hexadecimal digits as of 2026, so it cannot enter this five-digit value.

What does 𑠆 mean?

It is the independent vowel letter e in Dogra.

After a consonant, Dogra can spell the vowel with this letter or with the dependent e sign. The syllable ke can therefore be written as 𑠊𑠆 or 𑠊𑠳; these are distinct spellings, not font variants.

Dogra is closely related to Takri, which descended from Sharada through Devāśeṣa, a script that emerged in the 14th century. Devāśeṣa served religious and official writing; its popular form, Takri, served trade and informal writing and differentiated from it in the 16th century. Dogra was used to write Dogri in Jammu and Kashmir in the 17th century and was standardized in the 1860s. New Dogra appeared in official records, currency, postcards, stamps, and literature; Old Dogra was the common unofficial form. The chart uses New Dogra letterforms. Old and New Dogra also differ in vowel-letter shapes.
