U+10330 "𐌰" Gothic Letter Ahsa is a character from the Gothic script, a writing system created in the 4th century CE by Bishop Ulfilas to translate the Bible into the Gothic language. This letter represents the vowel sound /a/ and is the first character in the Gothic alphabet, with its name likely derived from the rune *ansuz, meaning "god" or "mouth." Encoded in Unicode's Gothic block, it is part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane and is used primarily in historical and linguistic texts to preserve the written records of the extinct East Germanic language.
