Unicode Version 17.0

𐢆

U+10886 "𐢆" Nabataean Letter Final He is a specific glyph from the Nabataean script, an ancient writing system used in the Nabataean kingdom (centered in modern-day Jordan) from roughly the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This character represents a final form of the letter "he," meaning it is a contextual variant that appears only when the letter occurs at the end of a word, distinguishing it from its medial or initial forms. The Nabataean script itself is significant as a precursor to the Arabic alphabet, with this particular letter likely originating from the Aramaic letter "he" and serving as a consonant or vowel indicator. In Unicode, this character is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, ensuring its preservation for digital use in historical and linguistic research.
