Unicode Version 17.0

𐢐

U+10890 "𐢐" Nabataean Letter Final Lamedh is a specific glyph used in the Nabataean script, an ancient writing system employed by the Nabataean civilization for their Aramaic language and dialect in what is now Jordan and the surrounding regions from roughly the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This character represents the final form of the letter Lamedh, which corresponds to the sound "l" and is distinct from its medial or initial variants, appearing only at the end of words. The Nabataean script itself is a cursive, right-to-left abjad that later influenced the development of the Arabic script, making this character a valuable subject for historians and linguists studying the evolution of Semitic alphabets and the transmission of writing systems across the ancient Near East. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard at this code point allows for digital representation and study of this historically significant script.
