U+1055A "𐕚" Caucasian Albanian Letter Seyk Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1055A "𐕚" Caucasian Albanian Letter Seyk is a character from the historical Caucasian Albanian script, which was used to write the Caucasian Albanian language, an ancient language of the northeastern Caucasus region. This letter represents the sound "S" and is part of a 52-letter alphabet derived from the Armenian script, known primarily from medieval manuscripts and inscriptions found in present-day Azerbaijan and surrounding areas. Seyk serves as a vital element in preserving the linguistic heritage of the once-flourishing Caucasian Albanian culture, which declined after the region's Islamization. The script was largely forgotten until its rediscovery in the 20th century through Armenian palimpsests and archaeological finds, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital documentation and study of this rare writing system.
