U+108F4 "𐣴" Hatran Letter Shin is a character from the Hatran alphabet, an ancient script used to write the Aramaic dialect of the Kingdom of Hatra, located in present-day northern Iraq. This letter represents the sound equivalent to the English "sh" and was part of an abjad writing system that recorded inscriptions, legal texts, and votive offerings in the city of Hatra between the 2nd century BCE and the 3rd century CE. Its inclusion in Unicode as part of the Hatran block allows for the digital preservation and study of this historical script, which was deciphered through inscriptions found at the Hatra archaeological site, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
