R̥ (Indic)
Letter "Ṛ" in Indic scripts / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Indic consonant R, see Ra (Indic). For the long version of this vowel-like letter often referred to as a "vocalic R̄", see Ṝ (Indic).
R̥ is a vowel symbol, or vocalic consonant, of Indic abugidas. In modern Indic scripts, R̥ is derived from the early "Ashoka" Brahmi letter after having gone through the Gupta letter . As an Indic vowel, R̥ comes in two normally distinct forms: 1) as an independent letter, and 2) as a vowel sign for modifying a base consonant. Bare consonants without a modifying vowel sign have the inherent "A" vowel.
