Unicode Version 17.0

𐼷

U+10F37 "𐼷" Sogdian Letter Yodh is part of the Sogdian alphabet, an ancient script used to write the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language spoken in Central Asia along the Silk Road from roughly the 4th to the 10th centuries. This character, named Yodh after the Semitic letter from which it derives, represents a consonantal sound, typically the voiced palatal approximant or the vowel /i/ depending on its position within a word, and it appears in both the cursive and monumental forms of the Sogdian script. The Sogdian alphabet itself ultimately traces its origins to the Aramaic script, and the Sogdian Letter Yodh, like other characters in this writing system, was crucial for recording a wide range of texts, including religious, commercial, and literary works, that facilitated communication and cultural exchange across the Silk Road.
