Unicode Version 17.0

𐎏

U+1038F "𐎏" Ugaritic Letter Dhal is a cuneiform symbol from the ancient Ugaritic alphabet, which was used in the city-state of Ugarit in modern-day Syria during the Late Bronze Age, around the 14th to 12th centuries BCE. This specific character represents a voiced interdental fricative sound, similar to the "th" in the English word "that," and it corresponds to the letter "ḏ" in scholarly Latin transliterations. As part of the Ugaritic script, which consists of 30 wedge shaped signs and is one of the earliest known alphabets, the letter Dhal appears in inscriptions on clay tablets and other artifacts, primarily recording religious texts, administrative records, and correspondence, providing crucial insights into Northwest Semitic languages and the cultural history of the ancient Near East.
