U+10ADC "𐫜" Manichaean Letter Fe Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐫜

U+10ADC "𐫜" Manichaean Letter Fe is a symbol from the Manichaean script, a writing system developed in the 3rd century CE to record the teachings of the prophet Mani and his syncretic religion, Manichaeism. This specific character represents the sound "f" and corresponds to the Phoenician and Aramaic letter Pe, functioning as a consonant in the Manichaean abjad. The script itself is predominantly known from Central Asian texts, particularly those found in the Turpan oasis, and it was used for writing in Middle Persian, Parthian, Sogdian, and other languages of the Manichaean canon. In modern digital contexts, this letter is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of Unicode, preserving an artifact of a historically influential but now extinct faith.
