𐩰
U+10A70 "𐩰" Old South Arabian Letter Fe is a glyph from the ancient script used to write the Old South Arabian languages, which were spoken in the region of modern-day Yemen and Oman from roughly the 8th century BCE to the 6th century CE. It represents the consonant sound "f," similar to the English "f," and belongs to a right-to-left abjad script largely employed for monumental inscriptions on stone and metal. This character is part of a broader Unicode block that preserves the writing system of civilizations such as the Sabaean, Minaean, and Qatabanian kingdoms, offering modern scholars and linguists a standardized digital representation for studying and documenting these historic texts.
