Unicode Version 17.0
𐫔
U+10AD4 "𐫔" Manichaean Letter Dhamedh is a character from the Manichaean script, which was developed in the 3rd century CE to write texts of the Manichaean religion, a major Gnostic faith founded by the prophet Mani. This specific letter represents the phoneme /ð/ similar to the English "th" in "that" and is part of a writing system that influenced later Central Asian scripts like Sogdian and Old Uyghur. The Manichaean alphabet was primarily used for religious manuscripts and inscriptions, often written from right to left, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this historically significant script.
