U+10898 "𐢘" Nabataean Letter Pe is a script character from the Nabataean alphabet, an ancient writing system used by the Nabataean people in the region of modern-day Jordan and the Sinai Peninsula from roughly the 2nd century BC to the 4th century AD. This specific letter represents the sound "p" and is part of a script that was instrumental in recording the Nabataean language, which is a Northwest Semitic dialect closely related to Aramaic. The Nabataean script itself is historically significant as it evolved into the Arabic script, influencing the visual form of letters like Pe, which corresponds to the Arabic letter "ف" (fa).
