Unicode Version 17.0

𐫛

U+10ADB "𐫛" Manichaean Letter Pe is a symbol from the Manichaean script, an abjad-style writing system used primarily from the 3rd to the 10th centuries CE to record religious texts of Manichaeism, a once widespread faith founded by the prophet Mani. This specific letter represents the sound "p" and occupies the 22nd position in the Manichaean alphabet, which was derived from the Aramaic script and adapted for writing Middle Persian, Parthian, Sogdian, and other languages. Its glyph, a distinctively curved and hook-like character, appears in manuscripts and inscriptions that preserve the theological, philosophical, and literary heritage of the Manichaean communities across Central Asia and the Silk Road.
