𐢇

U+10887 "𐢇" Nabataean Letter He is a script symbol from the Nabataean abjad, an ancient writing system used by the Nabataean people in parts of the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant from the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This character represents the consonant sound "h" and is a direct ancestor of the modern Arabic letter "ه" (haa) as well as certain forms in the Syriac and Hebrew scripts. The Nabataean script itself is historically significant as a precursor to the Arabic alphabet, reflecting a crucial stage in the evolution of Semitic writing.
