U+0812 "ࠒ" Samaritan Letter Quf is a letter from the Samaritan script, an alphabetic writing system used primarily by the Samaritan community for liturgical and theological texts written in Samaritan Hebrew and Aramaic. This character represents the sound equivalent to the Hebrew letter Qoph, typically a voiceless uvular plosive, and is the nineteenth letter in the Samaritan alphabet. It appears in ancient manuscripts such as the Samaritan Torah and is historically significant for preserving a distinct tradition of Hebrew script that diverged from mainstream Jewish scripts after the Babylonian exile.
