Unicode Version 17.0
𐮇
U+10B87 "𐮇" Psalter Pahlavi Letter Heth is a script symbol used in the Psalter Pahlavi writing system, which was developed primarily for writing Middle Persian texts, notably in Zoroastrian religious manuscripts and inscriptions. This letter represents the consonant sound "h" or "x" depending on context, and it is part of a smaller, abridged version of the Pahlavi script that simplified earlier forms for use in psalters and liturgical works. The Psalter Pahlavi block was added to Unicode in version 7.0, and this character helps preserve the textual heritage of late antique and early medieval Persian religious literature.
