U+10884 "𐢄" Nabataean Letter Gimel Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10884 "𐢄" Nabataean Letter Gimel is a glyph from the Nabataean script, which was historically used by the Nabataean people from the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE primarily in and around present-day Jordan and the Sinai Peninsula. This character represents the third letter of the Nabataean abjad, corresponding to the Semitic letter Gimel, which has the phonetic value of a voiced velar plosive /g/. The letter's shape, derived from earlier Aramaic forms, later evolved into the cursive style characteristic of Nabataean writing, and it is notably considered a direct ancestor of the Arabic letter ج (jīm) and the modern Arabic numeral for 3. Inclusion of this character in Unicode supports scholarly research and digital preservation of the Nabataean language and its inscriptions.
