U+10547 "𐕇" Caucasian Albanian Letter Qay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10547 "𐕇" Caucasian Albanian Letter Qay is a grapheme from the Caucasian Albanian script, an ancient writing system used to record the Caucasian Albanian language, primarily in the region of the South Caucasus during the 5th to 7th centuries CE. Representing the sound value /qʰ/ or a similar aspirated uvular plosive, this letter corresponds to the alphabetic ordering likely influenced by Armenian and Georgian traditions, part of a larger set of 52 characters discovered through medieval palimpsests and manuscripts. Today, the script and its letters like Qay are of significant historical and linguistic interest, as they preserve a now extinct Northeast Caucasian language, offering scholars insights into the region’s cultural and religious heritage, particularly from early Christian texts.
