U+10A77 "𐩷" Old South Arabian Letter Teth Unicode Character

U+10A77 "𐩷" Old South Arabian Letter Teth is a glyph representing a consonant sound from the ancient script used to write the Old South Arabian languages, which flourished in the region of modern-day Yemen from roughly the 9th century BCE to the 6th century CE. This letter, named Teth, corresponds to a voiceless emphatic dental or alveolar fricative sound, similar to the "ṭ" in Arabic, and is part of the 29-character abjad that was written from right to left. The Old South Arabian script is historically significant as the direct ancestor of the later Ethiopian Ge'ez writing system, and its letters were primarily inscribed on monumental stone monuments, metal plaques, and clay tablets for official inscriptions and religious texts.
