Unicode Version 17.0
𐏃
U+103C3 "𐏃" Old Persian Sign Ha is a cuneiform script symbol used in the ancient Achaemenid Empire to represent the syllabic sound "ha" within the Old Persian language. This character is part of the Old Persian cuneiform block, a writing system developed around the 6th century BCE primarily for royal inscriptions, most famously those of Darius the Great at Behistun. The sign is an important element for scholars studying the phonology and epigraphy of this extinct Iranian language, as it contributes to the reconstruction and reading of historical texts that document the empire's administration and achievements.
