U+10FB8 "𐾸" Chorasmian Letter Zayin is a glyph from the Chorasmian script, an extinct writing system used for the ancient Iranian language of Chorasmia, which was spoken in the region of Khwarezm in Central Asia. This letter represents the sound /z/, akin to the Semitic letter Zayin from which it is historically derived, and it belongs to the subset of the script that reflects Aramaic influences via the Imperial Aramaic alphabet. The Chorasmian script was primarily used from the 2nd to the 8th centuries, with inscriptions found on coins, pottery, and other artifacts, and the letter Zayin plays a role in documenting the linguistic heritage of the pre-Islamic Sogdian and Chorasmian cultures.
