Unicode Version 17.0

𐪔

U+10A94 "𐪔" Old North Arabian Letter Geem is an ancient script character used to represent the consonant sound similar to the Arabic letter ج (jīm) or the Hebrew gimel, depending on the specific dialect and historical context of the Old North Arabian languages. This script, also known as Ancient North Arabian, was employed across the Arabian Peninsula from roughly the 8th century BCE to the 4th century CE for inscriptions on stone and other durable materials, often associated with the Dadanitic, Taymanitic, and other related Semitic writing systems. The letter form itself resembles a curved, angular shape typical of the Old North Arabian abjad, and its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for the digital preservation and scholarly study of these ancient texts.
