Unicode Version 17.0
𐣥
U+108E5 "𐣥" Hatran Letter Waw is a script character from the Hatran alphabet, which was used to write the Hatran language, a dialect of Aramaic spoken in the ancient city of Hatra in what is now Iraq. This letter represents the sound "w" as in "water" and corresponds to the Semitic letter Waw, which also served as the source for the Latin letter F and the Greek letter Digamma. The Hatran script, inscribed on stone monuments and artifacts dating from the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE, was added to the Unicode Standard in 2015 as part of the Hatran block, preserving a key component of this extinct writing system.
