Unicode Version 17.0
𐍕
U+10355 "𐍕" Old Permic Letter Zhoi is a character from the Old Permic script, which was used historically to write the Komi languages in the Perm region of Russia from the 14th to the 17th centuries. This script, also known as Abur, was developed by the missionary Stephen of Perm to translate religious texts. The letter Zhoi specifically represents a voiced fricative sound, similar to the 'zh' in the English word "measure." Its inclusion in Unicode supports the digital preservation and study of this medieval writing system, allowing researchers and speakers to accurately represent historical texts in modern computing environments.
