U+10A6A "𐩪" Old South Arabian Letter Sat Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10A6A "𐩪" Old South Arabian Letter Sat is a glyph representing a consonant from the ancient script used to write the Old South Arabian languages, including Sabaic, Qatabanic, and Hadramitic, which flourished in the region of modern-day Yemen from approximately the 9th century BCE to the 6th century CE. This letter, with a sound value typically reconstructed as /s/ (an emphatic or voiceless sibilant), belongs to the Old South Arabian block of Unicode, which was added to the standard in 2009 to support the digital preservation and study of this historic writing system that was primarily inscribed on stone and metal monuments. The character's appearance, often featuring a distinctive angular shape with a curved or hooked top, reflects the script's typical right-to-left direction and its shared ancestry with other Semitic scripts like Ge'ez and early Arabic, making it an important key for historians and linguists deciphering inscriptions from pre-Islamic South Arabia.
