U+10C42 "𐱂" Old Turkic Letter Yenisei Esh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10C42 "𐱂" Old Turkic Letter Yenisei Esh is a glyph representing a distinct variant of the letter Esh, used specifically in the Yenisei subbranch of the Old Turkic script, which was employed by early Turkic peoples in the Yenisei River basin region of Siberia. This character forms part of the Orkhon-Yenisei script family, a writing system historically used for inscriptions on stone monuments and artifacts dating back to the 6th to 10th centuries. The letter Esh in this context corresponds to a specific consonantal or vocalic sound, though its exact phonetic value in Old Turkic is debated among scholars, as it is attested primarily in runelike inscriptions that document the language of early Turkic tribes. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent this ancient script, allowing for modern research, typography, and cultural heritage documentation related to the historical Turkic peoples.
