๐ซ
U+10ADD "๐ซ" Manichaean Letter Sadhe is part of the Manichaean script, which was used primarily between the third and tenth centuries CE to write texts related to the Manichaean religion, a major Gnostic faith founded by the prophet Mani. This specific letter represents the sound "แนฃ" (an emphatic "s") and corresponds to the Semitic letter Sadhe, from which it derives its name and phonetic value. In the Manichaean alphabet, which is written from right to left and borrowed heavily from the Syriac and Estrangela scripts, the letter Sadhe was employed in religious manuscripts, hymns, and liturgical works, particularly in Central Asian regions like Turfan and Dunhuang where the faith once flourished.
