U+10FC3 "𐿃" Chorasmian Letter Shin is a character from the Chorasmian script, an extinct alphabet used to write the Chorasmian language, an Eastern Iranian language spoken in the region of Chorasmia (modern-day Khwarezm) in Central Asia until around the 14th century. This letter represents the sound /ʃ/ (the "sh" sound as in "ship") and belongs to the Chorasmian block of the Unicode Standard, which was added in version 13.0 in 2020 to support historical texts. The script itself is written from right to left and is derived from the Aramaic alphabet, reflecting the region's cultural and linguistic ties within the ancient Persian and Sogdian spheres.
