U+10B47 "𐭇" Inscriptional Parthian Letter Heth is a glyph from the Inscriptional Parthian script, an ancient writing system used primarily between the 2nd century BCE and the 3rd century CE to record the Parthian language of the Parthian Empire. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ḥ" (a voiceless pharyngeal fricative) and corresponds to the Semitic letter Heth, from which it was derived. The Inscriptional Parthian script was written from right to left and is known from stone monuments, coin legends, and official inscriptions, making this letter a key component in understanding the epigraphic heritage of the Iranian plateau during the Arsacid dynasty.
