U+10FE2 "𐿢" Elymaic Letter Gimel Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐿢

U+10FE2 "𐿢" Elymaic Letter Gimel is a character from the Elymaic script, an ancient writing system used to record the Aramaic language in the region of Elymais, located in what is now southwestern Iran, during the Hellenistic and Parthian periods. This specific letter represents the consonant sound /g/, analogous to the Semitic letter gimel found in many other scripts such as Phoenician, Hebrew, and Syriac. The Elymaic alphabet was adapted from the Aramaic script and typically reads from right to left, with this character being one of twenty or more letters used for inscriptions on coins, stone monuments, and seals. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent a small but historically significant fragment of Near Eastern writing and linguistic heritage.
