U+10525 "𐔥" Elbasan Letter Ghe is part of the Elbasan script, an alphabet created in the 18th century for writing the Albanian language, particularly for religious texts. This specific letter represents a voiced velar fricative sound, similar to the "gh" in English "ugh," and it belongs to a set of characters used in a unique and historically significant writing system that was developed by the Albanian clergyman and scholar Gregory of Durrës.
