U+10878 "𐡸" Palmyrene Right-Pointing Fleuron Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐡸
U+10878 "𐡸" Palmyrene Right-Pointing Fleuron is a decorative glyph from the Palmyrene script block, which represents the ancient writing system used in the city of Palmyra in Syria from around 100 BCE to 300 CE. This fleuron, resembling an ornate arrow or leaf pointed to the right, was not a letter but a visual ornament or punctuation mark, likely employed to separate words, highlight sections of text, or add aesthetic flourishes in inscriptions and manuscripts. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the Palmyrene civilization, offering digital support for a symbol that once served both functional and decorative roles in a now extinct language.
