U+10AC4 "𐫄" Manichaean Letter Ghimel is a glyph from the Manichaean script, an abjad historically used to write the Middle Iranian languages of Manichaean religious texts, particularly from the 3rd to 10th centuries CE in Central Asia along the Silk Road. This letter corresponds to the Semitic letter gimel and represents a voiced velar or uvular stop sound, likely /g/ or /ɣ/, depending on the language. It forms part of the Manichaean alphabet’s 22 consonant letters, which were derived from the Estrangela script of Syriac and adapted to phonetically record Manichaean liturgy, hymns, and theological works.
