Unicode Version 17.0

𐭄

U+10B44 "𐭄" Inscriptional Parthian Letter He is a character from the Inscriptional Parthian script, an ancient writing system used to record the Middle Iranian language of the Parthian Empire. This specific letter represents the sound "h" and was employed in monumental inscriptions and official documents during the Parthian period, roughly from the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. Its glyph is derived from the Aramaic script, from which many Middle Iranian scripts evolved, and it reflects the stylistic, angular forms typical of stone-carved inscriptions. Today, this character is included in the Unicode standard to support historical and linguistic research, as well as digital preservation of ancient texts, allowing scholars to accurately represent and study the written heritage of the Parthian civilization.
