Unicode Version 17.0

𐪒

U+10A92 "𐪒" Old North Arabian Letter Ain is a glyph representing a consonant from the script used to write various ancient Semitic languages of the Arabian Peninsula, such as Dadanitic and Taymanitic, before the rise of Arabic script. This character corresponds to the sound of the voiced pharyngeal fricative /ʕ/, similar to the Arabic letter "ع" (Ain), and its name reflects its linguistic role as a cognate of the Phoenician, Aramaic, and Arabic letters of the same name. The Old North Arabian script itself is a branch of the South Semitic script family and was primarily used for inscriptions and monumental texts, with this specific character being one of twenty eight letters in the encoded block that survives primarily through archaeological artifacts.
