Unicode Version 17.0
𐌹
U+10339 "𐌹" Gothic Letter Eis is a character from the Gothic alphabet, a script created in the 4th century AD by Bishop Ulfilas for translating the Bible into the Gothic language. Representing the sound of the long "i" vowel, it corresponds to the Greek letter iota and the Latin letter I in its phonetic value, and it was used primarily in the written records of the extinct East Germanic Gothic language. This character is part of the Gothic block in Unicode, allowing modern digital preservation and study of one of the oldest Germanic languages, which is known mainly from the Codex Argenteus manuscript.
