Unicode Version 17.0

𐩬

U+10A6C "𐩬" Old South Arabian Letter Nun is a glyph representing the fourteenth consonant of the ancient South Arabian script, which was used between roughly the 9th century BCE and the 7th century CE for writing languages such as Sabaic, Minaic, and Ge'ez. This script, inscribed primarily on stone monuments and bronze tablets, is the ancestor of the modern Ethiopic writing system. The letter Nun corresponds to the phonetic value /n/, and its distinctive angular, geometric shape reflects the monumental inscriptional style of the civilization that flourished in the region of modern-day Yemen. Today, this character is included in the Old South Arabian block of the Unicode Standard to support scholarly research, digital preservation, and cultural heritage documentation of these ancient languages.
