𐢂

U+10882 "𐢂" Nabataean Letter Final Beth is a glyph from the Nabataean script, an ancient writing system used by the Nabataean people from around the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE, primarily in what is now Jordan, the Sinai Peninsula, and northwestern Arabia. This character represents the final form of the letter "Beth," which corresponds to the sound "b," and it appears at the end of words in Nabataean inscriptions, such as those found on tomb facades and trade documents in the city of Petra. The Nabataean script itself is a cursive descendant of the Aramaic alphabet and is significant for being a direct precursor to the Arabic script, making this character a key piece in understanding the historical evolution of writing in the Middle East.
