U+10B51 "𐭑" Inscriptional Parthian Letter Sadhe is part of the Inscriptional Parthian script block, which was used to write the Middle Iranian language of the Parthian Empire (247 BCE to 224 CE) primarily on stone inscriptions, coins, and seals. This specific character, named Sadhe, represents a consonantal sound in the Parthian writing system and corresponds to the Aramaic letter Sadhe, as the Parthian script was adapted from the Imperial Aramaic alphabet. Its glyph resembles a narrow, vertical shape with a slight curve, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard to support historical and scholarly documentation of ancient Near Eastern languages, including texts from sites like Nisa and Dura-Europos.
