U+10B18 "๐ฌ" Avestan Letter Je Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
๐ฌ
U+10B18 "๐ฌ" Avestan Letter Je is one of the alphabetic symbols used in the Avestan script, which was historically employed to write Avestan, the sacred liturgical language of Zoroastrianism. This particular character represents the consonant sound /dอกส/ similar to the English "j" in "judge" and is found in texts that preserve the hymns and rituals of the Zoroastrian faith. The Avestan script itself was developed during the Sassanid period to accurately render the phonetic nuances of the ancient language, and its characters like ๐ฌ are encoded in Unicode to support digital preservation and study of these important religious manuscripts.
