U+10885 "𐢅" Nabataean Letter Daleth is a symbol from the Nabataean script, an ancient writing system used by the Nabataean people of northern Arabia and the southern Levant from around the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This character represents the consonant sound /d/, akin to the Hebrew Dalet, and was part of an alphabet that evolved from the Aramaic script. The Nabataean script is historically significant because its cursive form later influenced the development of the Arabic alphabet. The letter Daleth appears in inscriptions on tombs, temples, and trade documents, reflecting the Nabataeans' role as a prosperous caravan culture.
