Unicode Version 17.0
U+10B69 "𐭩" Inscriptional Pahlavi Letter Yodh is a glyph from the Inscriptional Pahlavi script, a writing system used primarily for Middle Iranian languages on monuments and seals during the Parthian and Sassanid periods. This character represents the consonant sound "y" and corresponds to the Semitic letter Yodh, which is the tenth letter in many Semitic alphabets and often signifies a hand or arm in its pictographic origins. As part of the Inscriptional Pahlavi block, this letter was employed in royal inscriptions, religious texts, and administrative documents, contributing to the documentation of Zoroastrian and early Persian history before the script was supplanted by later Arabic-derived systems. The inclusion of this character in Unicode ensures the digital preservation and study of this ancient script.
