𐢒

U+10892 "𐢒" Nabataean Letter Final Mem is a character from the Nabataean script, an ancient writing system used primarily from the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE to write the Nabataean language, an Arabic dialect, and which later evolved into the Arabic script. This specific character represents the final form of the letter "mem," corresponding to the sound /m/, and was used at the end of words, contrasting with the standard medial and initial forms of the letter. It encodes a stylistic variant of the alphabet that reflects the cursive tendencies of Nabataean script, which was often inscribed on stone monuments, tombs, and trade documents, notably at the kingdom's capital of Petra in modern-day Jordan. The inclusion of this character in Unicode allows for the digital representation and study of this historic script.
