𐽰
U+10F70 "𐽰" Old Uyghur Letter Aleph is a script character from the Old Uyghur block used primarily to write the Old Uyghur language, which was a Turkic language spoken in Central Asia from the 9th to the 14th centuries. This letter represents the glottal stop or a long vowel sound, functioning similarly to the Aleph in other Semitic-derived scripts, and it was a fundamental component of the Old Uyghur alphabet itself derived from the Sogdian script. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent historical texts, enabling scholars and enthusiasts to study and share ancient manuscripts and inscriptions from the Uyghur cultural and religious traditions.
