U+10AD0 "𐫐" Manichaean Letter Kaph Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐫐
U+10AD0 "𐫐" Manichaean Letter Kaph is a character from the Manichaean script, which was developed and used primarily between the 3rd and 10th centuries CE for writing the Manichaean religion’s sacred texts, initially in Middle Persian, Parthian, and Sogdian languages. As the tenth letter of the Manichaean alphabet, Kaph represents the voiceless velar stop sound /k/, and it likely derived from the East Syriac letter Kaph, sharing a similar visual form and phonetic value. This character belongs to the Manichaean Unicode block, which was added to the standard in version 7.0 of 2014, helping to preserve and digitally represent this historically significant but now extinct script used by one of the major religions of late antiquity.
