𐼇
U+10F07 "𐼇" Old Sogdian Letter Waw is a character from the Old Sogdian script, which was used to write the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language spoken across Central Asia along the Silk Road from roughly the 2nd to the 10th century CE. This letter represents the consonant sound /w/ and could also serve as a vowel marker for /u/ or /o/ depending on its context. The Old Sogdian alphabet itself is a direct descendant of the Aramaic script, reflecting the region's historical trade and cultural connections, and it later influenced the development of several Central Asian writing systems, including the Sogdian-derived Uyghur and Mongolian scripts.
