U+103AC "𐎬" Old Persian Sign Tu is a cuneiform character from the Old Persian script, used in the Achaemenid Empire between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE to represent the syllable "tu" in the language of Old Persian inscriptions. This sign is part of the linear, geometric cuneiform system developed under Darius I, which consisted of 36 phonetic signs and 8 logograms, and it features a distinct wedge-shaped arrangement that forms a vertical wedge followed by a horizontal wedge and an angled wedge. The character is encoded in the Old Persian Cuneiform block of Unicode, allowing for digital representation and study of ancient Persian texts.
