U+0726 "ܦ" Syriac Letter Pe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ܦ
U+0726 "ܦ" Syriac Letter Pe is used in the Syriac script, an ancient Semitic writing system primarily associated with the Syriac language, which is a dialect of Middle Aramaic. This character represents the voiceless bilabial plosive sound /p/, similar to the English letter "P", and appears in the Syriac alphabet as the seventeenth letter. It is found in classical Syriac liturgical texts, as well as in modern Neo-Aramaic languages, and its distinct shape, a curved loop with a vertical stroke, reflects the Estrangela or Serto calligraphic styles commonly used in Syriac manuscripts.
