U+1089B "𐢛" Nabataean Letter Resh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1089B "𐢛" Nabataean Letter Resh is a character from the Nabataean script, an ancient writing system used primarily between the 2nd century BC and the 4th century AD to write the Nabataean language, a dialect of Aramaic. This letter represents the sound /r/ and corresponds to the Semitic letter resh, which is found in later scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. The Nabataean alphabet itself is historically significant as it evolved from the Aramaic script and served as a direct precursor to the later Arabic script, influencing the development of writing in the Arabian Peninsula. The glyph for this letter typically appears as a curved, open form, distinct in shape from similar letters in the same script, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Nabataean block, which preserves ancient texts and inscriptions for digital use.
