U+10F01 "𐼁" Old Sogdian Letter Final Aleph Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10F01 "𐼁" Old Sogdian Letter Final Aleph is a script symbol from the Old Sogdian alphabet, an ancient writing system used primarily for the Sogdian language, which was an Eastern Iranian language spoken in Central Asia along the Silk Road from roughly the 4th to the 10th centuries CE. This specific character represents a word-final variant of the letter aleph, which in many Semitic-derived scripts typically denotes a glottal stop but here serves to indicate a final vowel sound or simply marks the end of a word in the cursive Sogdian script. The Old Sogdian script itself evolved from Aramaic and later influenced the development of the Uyghur and Mongolian scripts, making this character a key piece of linguistic history that helps scholars reconstruct ancient trade and cultural exchanges across Eurasia.
