U+10AC5 "𐫅" Manichaean Letter Daleth is part of the Manichaean script block, specifically representing the fourth letter of the Manichaean alphabet, which corresponds to the Semitic letter daleth and carries the phonetic value of "d." This script was historically used to write the Manichaean religious texts, a gnostic faith founded by Mani in the 3rd century CE, and is derived from the East Syrian cursive tradition. The letter daleth, like other characters in this alphabet, played a crucial role in preserving the liturgical and theological writings of Manichaeism, though the script is now largely of interest to scholars of ancient languages and religious history.
