U+10B49 "𐭉" Inscriptional Parthian Letter Yodh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10B49 "𐭉" Inscriptional Parthian Letter Yodh is a character from the Inscriptional Parthian script, an ancient writing system used to record the Middle Iranian language of the Parthian Empire, primarily in inscriptions on stone and metal from roughly the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. This specific letter, named Yodh, represents the consonant sound /j/ (like the English "y" in "yes") and is also used as a mater lectionis to indicate the long vowel /iː/ in some contexts. It belongs to the Inscriptional Parthian Unicode block, which was added to the standard in 2010 to support historical and archaeological studies, and it is written from right to left, connecting to other characters in the cursive style of the script derived from the Imperial Aramaic alphabet.
