U+10F46 "𐽆" Sogdian Combining Dot Below is a diacritical mark used in the ancient Sogdian script, a writing system derived from Aramaic that was employed for the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language of Central Asia. This combining character is placed beneath other Sogdian letters to modify their sound, likely indicating a specific phonetic distinction such as emphasis, voicing, or a shift in pronunciation. It belongs to the Sogdian block of Unicode, which supports the documentation and digital preservation of this extinct script that was used from roughly the 4th to the 10th centuries CE in regions like modern-day Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and along the Silk Road.
