U+10543 "π" Caucasian Albanian Letter Jhox is a character from the Caucasian Albanian script, an ancient writing system used between the 5th and 12th centuries CE to record the now extinct Caucasian Albanian language, which belonged to the Northeast Caucasian family. This specific letter represents a sound similar to the voiced postalveolar affricate, often transliterated as "dΕΎ" or "j", and was part of a 52 letter alphabet believed to have been invented by the Armenian scholar Mesrop Mashtots. The character was added to Unicode in 2014 as part of the Caucasian Albanian block, enabling digital preservation and study of historical inscriptions and manuscripts from the Caucasus region.
