The Telugu
script is a South Indian script used to write the Telugu language of
Andhra Pradesh state in
India, as well as
minority languages such as
Gondi (
Adilabad and
Koi dialects) and
Lambadi.
Telugu is rendered much like Tamil. Take note that, unlike Tamil, the Telugu script writes conjunct consonants with subscripted letters. There are also numerous consonants with contextual shape changes when used in conjuncts. Some vowel signs also change their shape in specified combinations.
U+0C55 ౕ Telugu length mark

U+0C48 ై Telugu vowel sign ai. The length marks are both nonspacing characters.

128 code points from U+0C00 to U+0C7F, of which
