Unicode Version 17.0

𐩼

U+10A7C "𐩼" Old South Arabian Letter Theth is a glyph from the Old South Arabian script, an ancient abjad used primarily in the Arabian Peninsula from around the 9th century BCE to the 6th century CE to write languages such as Sabaic, Qatabanic, and Hadramitic. This specific character represents the consonant sound /θ/ (like the "th" in "think") and is derived from the South Semitic script family, which is related to the Phoenician alphabet. It was historically inscribed on stone monuments, bronze plaques, and other artifacts, often for royal decrees, religious texts, or trade records. Today, it is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Old South Arabian block, allowing for digital representation and study of this ancient writing system in modern contexts such as academic research and epigraphy.
