U+10E96 "𐺖" Yezidi Letter Ze is a grapheme from the Yezidi script, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2020 as part of the Yezidi block to support the written representation of the Yezidi language, a Northern Kurdish dialect spoken primarily by the Yezidi religious community in Iraq, Syria, and the diaspora. This letter specifically represents the voiced alveolar fricative sound /z/, playing a crucial role in accurately transcribing the phonology of the language and preserving the liturgical and secular texts of the Yezidi culture.
