U+108E9 "𐣩" Hatran Letter Yodh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐣩
U+108E9 "𐣩" Hatran Letter Yodh is a script sign from the Hatran alphabet, which was used to write the Aramaic language in the ancient city of Hatra in modern day Iraq from roughly the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. This character represents the consonant sound "y" and is the tenth letter in the Hatran alphabet, derived from the earlier Aramaic Yodh. It was inscribed on stone monuments, statues, and votive tablets in Hatra, an important trading and religious center that blended Mesopotamian, Hellenistic, and Parthian influences. The character was added to the Unicode Standard in 2012 as part of the Hatran block, helping preserve this extinct script for scholars and digital archiving.
