Unicode Version 17.0
𐫇
U+10AC7 "𐫇" Manichaean Letter Waw is a glyph from the Manichaean script, an abjad historically used to write the Middle Iranian languages of the Manichaean religion, which flourished from the 3rd to the 10th centuries CE along the Silk Road. This specific character represents the consonant sound /w/ and also serves as a mater lectionis for the vowels /u/ and /o/, similar in function to the letter Waw in other Semitic-derived scripts. Its visual form is a curved, open shape, and it belongs to the Manichaean block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to support the digital preservation and study of this significant heretical faith's fragmented manuscript heritage.
