U+10398 "𐎘" Ugaritic Letter Thanna is a script sign from the Ugaritic alphabet, an ancient cuneiform writing system used for the Ugaritic language in the city-state of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra, Syria) around the 14th to 12th centuries BCE. This letter represents a voiceless dental fricative sound, similar to the English "th" in "thin", and it corresponds to the letter "th" in transliterations of Ugaritic texts. The sign is classified under the Ugaritic block in Unicode, which was added to the standard to support digital representation of this historically significant Semitic script. As part of the Ugaritic alphabet, which consists of 30 consonant signs, Thanna appears in inscriptions on clay tablets that record religious, economic, and literary works, including the famous Epic of Aqhat and the Baal Cycle.
