𐭨

U+10B68 "𐭨" Inscriptional Pahlavi Letter Teth is a glyph from the Inscriptional Pahlavi script, an ancient writing system used primarily for Middle Persian inscriptions from the Parthian and Sasanian periods. This letter corresponds to the Semitic root teth, representing a dental or emphatic /t̪ˤ/ sound in the historical phonology of the language. The character belongs to the Inscriptional Pahlavi Unicode block, which was encoded to preserve and digitally represent the angular, cursive script found on stone monuments, seals, and coins. As a consonant within the abjad system of Inscriptional Pahlavi, U+10B68 is typically written from right to left and may function either as a standalone letter or in a ligated form depending on its position in a word, reflecting the script's characteristic lack of vowel representation and its reliance on contextual interpretation.
