U+10A64 "𐩤" Old South Arabian Letter Qoph is an ancient script character belonging to the Old South Arabian alphabet, which was used from roughly the 9th century BCE to the 6th century CE to inscribe the Semitic languages of the Sabaean, Minaean, Qatabanian, and Hadramite kingdoms in the southern Arabian Peninsula. This letter represents the voiceless uvular plosive sound /q/ and is cognate with the Hebrew Qof and Arabic Qāf.
