The Sharada i, 𑆅, is the standalone letter for the vowel i, written independently rather than as a mark on a consonant. Sharada is a historical script used for Sanskrit, Kashmiri and other northern South Asian languages. As of 2026, it appears mainly in specialist or heritage text.

Text symbol

What 𑆅 means

It is Sharada’s independent vowel letter i.

Sharada developed from northwestern Brahmi, an older script. Sharada inscriptions reach the 8th century CE; examples include 9th-century Kashmir coins and a jar inscription dated 855–883. Later manuscripts include the 12th-century Bakhshali mathematics manuscript and a 14th-century Kashmir manuscript on birch bark. It served Sanskrit and Kashmiri and later gave rise to Takri. In the 19th century, Arabic-script Kashmiri and Devanagari narrowed its use.
