Unicode Version 17.0

𐔊

U+1050A "𐔊" Elbasan Letter Ge is a letter from the Elbasan script, a historical alphabet that was used primarily in the 18th century in central Albania to write the Albanian language. This specific glyph, named "Ge," represents a distinct consonant sound in the phonetic inventory of Albanian as transcribed by scholars of that era, and it forms part of the Elbasan character set which was encoded in the Unicode Standard under the supplementary multilingual plane. The script itself is notable for its unique, curved letterforms and its association with the Elbasan Gospel Manuscript, one of the earliest known Albanian-language texts, making the letter Ge an important element for historical linguistic research and digital preservation of this rare writing system.
