U+10519 "𐔙" Elbasan Letter Re Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐔙
U+10519 "𐔙" Elbasan Letter Re is a glyph from the Elbasan script, an alphabetic writing system devised in the mid-18th century for the Albanian language. This specific letter represents the sound "r" and is part of a historically significant alphabet created by the Albanian scholar and priest Gregory of Gjirokastër, also known as Theodhor Haxhifilipi, who sought to develop a unique script for written Albanian distinct from Greek, Latin, and Arabic influences. Though the Elbasan script was used primarily in religious and educational contexts in central Albania and saw limited adoption, its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and digitally represent this unique cultural heritage, enabling modern study and usage of the script.
