U+10332 "𐌲" Gothic Letter Giba Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐌲
U+10332 "𐌲" Gothic Letter Giba is a character from the Gothic script, an ancient alphabet devised in the 4th century CE by the Gothic bishop Wulfila to translate the Bible into the Gothic language. This specific letter represents the sound /ɡ/, like the hard 'g' in English "gift", and it is derived from the Greek letter gamma (Γ, γ). Historically, Gothic was an East Germanic language that became extinct by the 8th century, but the script survives in manuscripts such as the Codex Argenteus. In modern digital use, the Gothic Letter Giba is encoded in Unicode's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, allowing scholars and enthusiasts to represent this historical writing system in electronic texts.
