Unicode Version 17.0

𐰮

U+10C2E "𐰮" Old Turkic Letter Yenisei Aeng is a specific glyph from the Old Turkic script, which was used to write the Orkhon and Yenisei Turkic languages in Central Asia and southern Siberia between the 8th and 13th centuries. This particular letter represents a nasalized vowel sound similar to the modern Turkish "ıñ" or "eñ", and its name derives from the Yenisei River region where many inscriptions using this variant of the script have been discovered. Carved primarily on stone monuments and memorial stelae, the Old Turkic script was deciphered in the late 19th century by Danish scholar Vilhelm Thomsen, and the U+10C2E character belongs to the Old Turkic block in the Unicode standard, aiding in the digital preservation of these ancient texts and the study of early Turkic language history and cultural heritage.
