U+10B72 "𐭲" Inscriptional Pahlavi Letter Taw Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10B72 "𐭲" Inscriptional Pahlavi Letter Taw is a glyph from the Inscriptional Pahlavi script, which was used primarily in the Sassanid Empire of Persia for monumental and official inscriptions on stone and metal, dating from around the 2nd century BCE to the 7th century CE. This letter represents the sound "t" and corresponds to the final form of the Aramaic letter taw, which was adopted and adapted for writing the Middle Persian language. As part of a right to left abjad script that omitted most vowels, the Inscriptional Pahlavi Letter Taw played a key role in recording the administrative, religious, and historical texts of the period, including those related to Zoroastrianism and royal decrees. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard helps preserve and digitize this ancient writing system for modern scholarly and cultural use.
