𐢌

U+1088C "𐢌" Nabataean Letter Final Yodh is a specific glyph from the Nabataean script, an ancient writing system used primarily in the Nabataean kingdom from the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE, mostly for inscriptions on monuments, tombs, and trade documents in areas like modern-day Jordan and Saudi Arabia. This character represents the final form of the letter yodh, used at the end of words to denote a sound similar to the English letter "y" or a long "i" vowel, and it differs from the medial or initial forms of the same letter in the cursive, right-to-left Nabataean script. As a Unicode block, it is part of the historical script range U+10880 to U+108AF, allowing modern digital systems to encode and display this ancient letter for academic, linguistic, and cultural preservation purposes.
