Unicode Version 17.0
U+10A6B "𐩫" Old South Arabian Letter Kaph is a grapheme from the Old South Arabian script, an ancient abjad used to write the Semitic languages of the Sabaean, Minaean, Qatabanian, and Hadramitic civilizations in the southern Arabian Peninsula from roughly the 9th century BCE to the 7th century CE. This character represents the consonant sound equivalent to the English "k" and is one of 29 letters in the script, which was written from right to left in monumental inscriptions and everyday texts. The letter Kaph is historically derived from the Proto-Sinaitic script and is related to the Hebrew letter Kaf, though its distinctive angular form reflects the unique stone-carving tradition of South Arabian writing. It belongs to the Old South Arabian Unicode block, enabling digital preservation and study of these ancient inscriptions.
