𐔷
U+10537 "𐔷" Caucasian Albanian Letter Zhil is a character from the historical Caucasian Albanian alphabet, which was used primarily between the 5th and 12th centuries to write the Caucasian Albanian language, an ancient language spoken in the region of present-day Azerbaijan and southern Russia. This specific letter, named Zhil, represents a voiced postalveolar fricative sound, similar to the English "zh" as in "measure". The script was rediscovered in the 20th century through inscriptions and manuscripts, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital representation and preservation of this important cultural heritage from the medieval Caucasus.
