Unicode Version 17.0
𐬬
U+10B2C "𐬬" Avestan Letter Ve is a character from the Avestan script, an ancient right to left writing system developed for recording the Avesta, the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism. This specific character represents the consonant sound "v" and was used in liturgical and religious manuscripts originating from the region of ancient Persia. It belongs to the Avestan Unicode block, which was added to the standard in 2009 to facilitate digital preservation of these historically significant texts. The letter's distinctive shape, with a curved stroke and small central hook, reflects the script's calligraphic traditions and its connection to the Avestan language, which is no longer spoken but remains important for religious study.
