𐫃

U+10AC3 "𐫃" Manichaean Letter Gimel is a glyph from the Manichaean script, a writing system historically used to transcribe Middle Persian, Parthian, Sogdian, and other languages within the Manichaean religion. This specific letter, called Gimel, corresponds to the sound /g/ and is the third character in the Manichaean alphabet, directly derived from the Aramaic letter of the same name. As part of the Manichaean block in Unicode, it helps preserve the textual records of the faith's liturgical and theological manuscripts, which were once widespread across Central Asia and the Silk Road. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard supports scholars and digital archivists in accurately representing and studying these ancient religious texts.
