Unicode Version 17.0
U+103AB "𐎫" Old Persian Sign Ta is a cuneiform script character representing the syllable "ta" used in the Old Persian language, which was the language of the Achaemenid Empire of ancient Iran. This sign belongs to the Old Persian cuneiform script, a relatively simple, semi-alphabetic writing system consisting of 36 phonetic signs and a few logograms, primarily used for royal inscriptions on monuments and tablets from the 6th to 4th centuries BCE. Its inclusion in Unicode supports the digital preservation and study of this ancient writing system, allowing modern scholars and enthusiasts to accurately represent and analyze historical texts such as the famous Behistun Inscription. The character's visual form typically features wedge-shaped marks that combine to create a distinct symbol, reflecting the broader cuneiform tradition while being tailored to the specific phonetic needs of Old Persian.
