U+10F32 "𐼲" Sogdian Letter Gimel is a glyph from the Sogdian script, an ancient writing system used to record the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language spoken in Central Asia along the Silk Road from roughly the 4th to the 10th centuries. This particular character represents the third letter of the Sogdian alphabet, corresponding to the sound /g/, and is derived from the Aramaic letter Gimel.
