Unicode Version 17.0
𐺏
U+10E8F "𐺏" Yezidi Letter Za is a specific glyph used within the Yezidi script, which was encoded into the Unicode Standard in 2021 under the Yezidi block. This letter represents a consonant sound in the Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish spoken by the Yezidi people, and its inclusion in Unicode was a significant step for digitally preserving and representing the Yezidi language and cultural heritage. As part of a relatively recent addition to the standard, the Yezidi Letter Za helps facilitate accurate digital communication, documentation, and revitalization efforts for a community whose religious and linguistic traditions have faced historical persecution.
