Unicode Version 17.0

𐫑

U+10AD1 "𐫑" Manichaean Letter Xaph is a specific character used in the Manichaean script, which was developed to write the Manichaean language, a Middle Iranian language central to the religious texts of Manichaeism. This letter represents a particular phonetic sound or consonant value, corresponding to the sound "x" or a similar voiceless velar fricative in scholarly reconstructions of the language. It belongs to the Manichaean block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to facilitate the digital representation and study of ancient Manichaean manuscripts. As part of an abjad or consonantal alphabet, the letter Xaph contributes to the encoding of sacred and historical writings from the Manichaean faith, helping preserve this once widespread but now largely extinct religious tradition.
