U+1055B "𐕛" Caucasian Albanian Letter Veyz Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1055B "𐕛" Caucasian Albanian Letter Veyz is a glyph from the Caucasian Albanian script, an alphabet historically used to write the Caucasian Albanian language, also known as Old Udi, in the ancient kingdom of Caucasian Albania in what is now Azerbaijan and parts of the Caucasus region. This specific character represents the sound equivalent to the modern letter "v" and belongs to a script that was rediscovered through medieval Armenian manuscripts and later deciphered using bilingual palimpsests and inscriptions. The Caucasian Albanian script consists of 52 letters and is written from left to right, with U+1055B being one of its distinct symbols that contributes to preserving the linguistic heritage of a once-thriving culture before it fell out of use around the 8th century CE.
