Unicode Version 17.0
𐪃
U+10A83 "𐪃" Old North Arabian Letter Meem is a character from the Old North Arabian script, an ancient writing system used primarily in the Arabian Peninsula from roughly the 8th to the 4th century BCE to inscribe texts in various early Semitic languages. This specific glyph represents the consonant sound /m/, analogous to the letter "M" in modern Semitic and Latin alphabets. It belongs to the "Old North Arabian" Unicode block, which was added to the standard to support the digitization and preservation of historical inscriptions, particularly those found on stone carvings and monumental stone monuments in regions like modern-day Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
