U+10E92 "𐺒" Yezidi Letter Shin Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐺒

U+10E92 "𐺒" Yezidi Letter Shin is a specific glyph from the Yezidi script, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2020 as part of version 13.0 to support the transcription of the Kurmanji language, the liturgical language of the Yezidi religious community. This letter represents the "sh" sound, similar to the English "sh" in "ship," and is one of over 40 characters in the Yezidi alphabet that were historically used in sacred texts and manuscripts. The inclusion of the Yezidi script in Unicode was a significant step for digital preservation, allowing Yezidi communities to write, document, and share their cultural and religious heritage in modern electronic formats without relying on ad hoc fonts or transliterations.
