U+10E8B "𐺋" Yezidi Letter Dal is a character from the Yezidi script, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2020 with the release of version 14.0. This letter represents the sound /d/ and is used in writing the Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish as spoken by the Yezidi religious community, primarily in Iraq, Syria, and the Caucasus region. The Yezidi alphabet, distinct from both Arabic and Latin scripts, was developed to preserve and standardize the written form of the Yezidi language, and the letter Dal plays a role in documenting their liturgical and cultural texts.
