U+10F0A "𐼊" Old Sogdian Letter Yodh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10F0A "𐼊" Old Sogdian Letter Yodh is a glyph from the Old Sogdian script, an ancient writing system used primarily between the 4th and 8th centuries CE for the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language spoken in Central Asia along the Silk Road. This character represents the consonant sound /j/ or the vowel /i/ depending on context, akin to the Semitic letter Yodh from which it descends, and it was used in religious, commercial, and administrative texts by Sogdian merchants and Manichaean communities. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Old Sogdian block, supporting the digital preservation of this extinct script and its historical significance for understanding cross-cultural exchanges in pre-Islamic Central Asia.
