U+10F08 "𐼈" Old Sogdian Letter Zayin Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10F08 "𐼈" Old Sogdian Letter Zayin is a glyph used in the Old Sogdian script, which was historically employed to write the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language spoken in Sogdiana (modern-day Uzbekistan and Tajikistan) from roughly the 4th to the 10th centuries CE. This character represents the voiced alveolar fricative sound /z/, similar to the English "z", and it corresponds to the letter Zayin in the Aramaic alphabet, from which the Old Sogdian script was ultimately derived. It appears as part of the early abjad-like writing system that influenced later scripts such as the Manichaean and Sogdian-derived Uyghur alphabets, and it is encoded in the Unicode block for Old Sogdian, which supports the digital preservation of this ancient writing system.
