U+10889 "𐢉" Nabataean Letter Zayin is part of the Nabataean script block, representing the seventh letter of the Nabataean abjad, equivalent to the Hebrew letter Zayin and the Arabic letter Zāy, with a phonetic value of /z/. This character was historically used in the Nabataean kingdom, which flourished in the region of modern-day Jordan and the Sinai Peninsula from the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE, primarily for inscriptions on stone and pottery, and it derives from the Aramaic script, which itself evolved from the Phoenician alphabet.
