U+10ACC "𐫌" Manichaean Letter Jhayin is a character from the Manichaean script, which was historically used to write the Manichaean religious texts in the Middle Iranian languages of Middle Persian, Parthian, and Sogdian. This letter specifically represents the sound of a voiced postalveolar affricate, akin to the English "j" in "jump," and corresponds to the Aramaic letter Yodh in its phonetic development. It was employed in the Manichaean writing system, which adapted the Estrangelo form of Syriac script, to transcribe the liturgical and theological literature of the Manichaean faith that flourished between the 3rd and 10th centuries CE across Central Asia and the Middle East.
