U+10FB9 "𐾹" Chorasmian Letter Heth is a glyph from the Chorasmian script, an ancient writing system used to record the now extinct Eastern Iranian language of Chorasmia, located in the region of modern day Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. This particular letter represents a sound similar to the Semitic letter heth, typically a voiceless pharyngeal or velar fricative, and it was employed in inscriptions and documents dating primarily from the early centuries of the Common Era. The inclusion of Heth in the Unicode Standard helps preserve the historical and linguistic heritage of Central Asia, enabling digital representation and study of this long lost writing system.
