Unicode Version 17.0
𐢑
U+10891 "𐢑" Nabataean Letter Lamedh is a script character from the Nabataean abjad, an ancient writing system used by the Nabataean people primarily in and around modern-day Jordan from the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This specific character represents the consonant sound /l/, analogous to the letter Lamedh in other Semitic scripts like Hebrew and Aramaic. The Nabataean script, from which the later Arabic script evolved, was used to inscribe texts on monumental stone carvings, coins, and papyri, reflecting the administrative and commercial life of the Nabataean kingdom centered at Petra. The inclusion of this character in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation and study of this historical writing system.
