Letter

ർ • (ṟ)

1. A Malayalam chillu letter (ചില്ലക്ഷരം) letter. It is the chillu letter of consonant റ with a cancelled root vowel. Transliterated as ṟ.

   ൎ was earlier used in archaic writings in place of the current ർ in middle of words

   This letter, like the other chillu letters, never occurs as the first letter of any Malayalam word.

Alternative forms

2. ര് (incorrect form, happens often due to technical limitations)
