Unicode Version 17.0

𐪙

U+10A99 "𐪙" Old North Arabian Letter Thal is a script character used in the ancient South Arabian alphabet, specifically representing a voiced dental fricative sound, similar to the "th" in the English word "this" as it would have been pronounced in the Old North Arabian languages. It belongs to the Old North Arabian block of the Unicode Standard, which encodes a script that was employed in inscriptions from the Arabian Peninsula from roughly the 8th century BCE to the 4th century CE. This letter, part of a consonant-based abjad writing system, is distinguished by its angular, geometric shape and is one of several characters that modern scholars have deciphered to understand the linguistic and historical records of pre-Islamic Arabian cultures.
