U+10B43 "𐭃" Inscriptional Parthian Letter Daleth Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10B43 "𐭃" Inscriptional Parthian Letter Daleth is a script character used in the Inscriptional Parthian writing system, which was employed from around the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE to record the Parthian language, an extinct Iranian language of the ancient Near East. This specific character represents the consonant "d" (similar to the Phoenician daleth) and is part of the Inscriptional Parthian block of the Unicode Standard, which was added in version 5.2 in 2009 to support historical texts found on artifacts such as coins, rock inscriptions, and clay tablets from the Parthian Empire. Its visual form is derived from the Aramaic script, reflecting the cultural and administrative influences between the Achaemenid and Parthian periods, making it a key element for scholars deciphering ancient Iranian inscriptions.
