𐫆

U+10AC6 "𐫆" Manichaean Letter He is the fourteenth letter of the Manichaean script, which was developed to write the sacred texts of Manichaeism, a major gnostic religion founded by the prophet Mani in the 3rd century CE. This letter represents the sound "h" and is part of a unique abjad system written from right to left, used primarily in Central Asia to record Middle Persian, Parthian, Sogdian, and other languages. Its glyph derives from the Aramaic letter He, reflecting the script’s origins in the Aramaic alphabet, and it holds linguistic and historical significance for scholars studying Manichaean manuscripts and the spread of religious ideas along the Silk Road.
