U+10E87 "𐺇" Yezidi Letter Chim Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐺇
U+10E87 "𐺇" Yezidi Letter Chim is a symbol from the Yezidi script, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2020 as part of version 13.0 to support the written representation of the Kurmanji dialect of the Kurdish language used by the Yezidi religious community. This character represents the sound equivalent to the English "ch" as in "church" and is essential for accurately transcribing Yezidi religious texts, prayers, and cultural literature. The inclusion of the Yezidi alphabet in Unicode helps preserve the distinct linguistic and cultural heritage of the Yezidi people, particularly in regions like northern Iraq and parts of the Caucasus.
