Unicode Version 17.0
𐡩
U+10869 "𐡩" Palmyrene Letter Yodh is a character from the Palmyrene script, an ancient Semitic alphabet used in the city of Palmyra, Syria, from around the 1st century BCE to the 3rd century CE. This letter represents the consonant "y" (similar to the Hebrew Yodh) and is part of the Palmyrene Unicode block, added to support the historical and epigraphic study of inscriptions found on Aramaic language monuments, trade routes, and ruins. As the tenth letter of the Palmyrene alphabet, it appears in inscriptions that document the culture, commerce, and religion of the Palmyrene people, making it a vital key for scholars deciphering this extinct writing system.
