Unicode Version 17.0

𐾶

U+10FB6 "𐾶" Chorasmian Letter Waw is a character from the Chorasmian script, an ancient writing system used for the Chorasmian language, which was spoken in the region of Chorasmia (modern-day parts of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan) from around the 2nd century BCE to the 8th century CE. This letter represents a consonant, specifically a cursive variant of the letter Waw, which typically denotes the sound /w/ or /v/ in some Semitic-derived scripts. The Chorasmian alphabet itself was adapted from the Aramaic script and was primarily used for inscriptions, coins, and administrative documents. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard, under the Chorasmian block (U+10FB0 to U+10FDF), helps preserve and digitally represent this historically significant Central Asian writing system for scholarly and linguistic purposes.
