𐼎

U+10F0E "𐼎" Old Sogdian Letter Nun is a letter from the Old Sogdian alphabet, which was used primarily between the 4th and 8th centuries CE to write the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language spoken along the Silk Road. This character represents the sound /n/ and is derived from the Aramaic script, as Sogdian writing systems evolved from Aramaic prototypes. Old Sogdian was written from right to left, and the Nun letter appears as a distinctive curved or angular shape in surviving manuscripts and inscriptions, which are important for understanding the historical spread of writing systems across Central Asia.
