Unicode Version 17.0
𐏐
U+103D0 "𐏐" Old Persian Word Divider is a special symbol from the Old Persian cuneiform script, used in inscriptions from the Achaemenid Empire to separate individual words, much like a modern space. This character appears as a small, wedge shaped mark and was essential for readability in a script that otherwise lacked explicit spacing between words. Its inclusion in Unicode allows scholars and digital text processors to accurately represent ancient Persian texts, preserving the original formatting and syntactic structure of these historical documents.
