U+10A8B "𐪋" Old North Arabian Letter Kaf Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10A8B "𐪋" Old North Arabian Letter Kaf is a character from the Old North Arabian script, an ancient writing system used in the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant from roughly the late 2nd millennium BCE to the mid-1st millennium BCE. This letter specifically represents the sound /k/ and is part of a script that is closely related to South Arabian alphabets, typically written from right to left. The Old North Arabian script was used for inscriptions on stone, rock faces, and pottery, primarily by nomadic and settled peoples of the region, and it is distinct from the later Arabic script. The Kaf character contributes to our understanding of the linguistic and cultural history of pre-Islamic Arabia, preserving evidence of the region's early writing traditions before the spread of the Arabic script.
