U+1084C "𐡌" Imperial Aramaic Letter Mem is a glyph from the Imperial Aramaic script, an ancient writing system used from around the 5th to 3rd century BCE for administrative and official documents across the Achaemenid Persian Empire. This character represents the letter "mem," which corresponds to the sound "m" and is derived from the Phoenician alphabet, appearing as a distinct water-like or wavy symbol in its formal chancellery hand. It belongs to the Unicode block titled "Imperial Aramaic," which was added to support the digital encoding of this historically significant script. The letter mem is the thirteenth character in the Imperial Aramaic alphabet, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and facilitate the study of ancient Near Eastern texts and inscriptions.
