TAMIL VOWEL SIGN U is a spacing combining mark (positive advance width) from the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of TAMIL VOWEL SIGN U 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 Tamil block. The Tamil block contains characters used in the Tamil script, which is used for writing the Tamil language, one of the oldest and most widely spoken Dravidian languages. The Tamil script is an abugida, where consonants are written with an inherent vowel sound that can be altered with diacritical marks. This block includes characters for vowels, consonants, and numerals, along with diacritics and punctuation marks. Tamil has a rich literary tradition that dates back over two thousand years, and its script is used in a variety of contexts, from classical literature to modern technology..
