GRANTHA VOWEL SIGN UU is a spacing combining mark (positive advance width) from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of GRANTHA VOWEL SIGN UU is Left-to-Right (Strong). It belongs to the strong left-to-right characters..

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Spacing Mark (Mc) refers to marks that typically appear as separate characters in writing. Unlike nonspacing marks, spacing marks take up space in the text and may affect the placement of surrounding characters. They are often used in scripts like Devanagari to indicate vowel sounds.

This character belongs to the Grantha block. The Grantha block contains characters used in the Grantha script, which is used for writing Sanskrit and classical Tamil texts in South India. The script is an abugida, with each consonant carrying an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics. The Grantha script has a long history, dating back to at least the 5th century CE, and was used primarily for religious and scholarly texts. This block includes all the characters needed to write in Grantha, reflecting its significance in the preservation and transmission of Hindu scriptures and classical literature..
