Unicode Version 17.0

𐼑

U+10F11 "𐼑" Old Sogdian Letter Samekh is a glyph from the Old Sogdian script, an ancient writing system used primarily in Central Asia from roughly the 4th to the 8th centuries CE to record the Sogdian language, a Middle Iranian tongue. This specific character represents the sound /s/ and corresponds to the Semitic letter Samekh, sharing its name and historical origin through the Aramaic alphabet from which Old Sogdian ultimately descended. The Old Sogdian script itself was influential as an ancestor of the Uyghur and later Mongolian alphabets, and "𐼑" appears in inscriptions and manuscripts discovered in regions like the Tarim Basin, often on religious or commercial texts.
