U+10C3B "𐰻" Old Turkic Letter Yenisei Ar is a glyph representing a specific consonant sound from the Orkhon-Yenisei script, which was historically used by Turkic peoples in Central Asia, particularly in the Yenisei River region, to inscribe epigraphic monuments. This particular letter corresponds to the phoneme often transcribed as "r" or "ar" and belongs to a variant of the script found in inscriptions from the Yenisei basin, distinguishing it from the better-known Orkhon script through minor stylistic differences.
