Unicode Version 17.0
𐺗
U+10E97 "𐺗" Yezidi Letter Eyn is a character from the Yezidi script, a recently encoded writing system used for the Kurmanji dialect of the Kurdish language, primarily by the Yazidi religious community. It represents a voiced pharyngeal approximant, similar to the Arabic and Syriac letter 'Ayn, and corresponds to a sound not typically found in standard Kurmanji but present in Arabic loanwords and certain dialects. Encoded in Unicode version 13.0 in 2020, this letter is part of a larger effort to preserve and digitally support the Yazidi cultural and linguistic heritage.
