Unicode Version 17.0
𐎻
U+103BB "𐎻" Old Persian Sign Vi is a character from the Old Persian cuneiform script, used in the Achaemenid Empire to write the Old Persian language. This specific sign represents the syllable "vi" and is part of a syllabic writing system that was deciphered in the 19th century, primarily through inscriptions on monuments such as those at Behistun. The script, which combines phonetic and logographic elements, was used to record the deeds and proclamations of kings like Darius the Great, and the inclusion of U+103BB in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation and study of ancient cuneiform texts from this historical period.
