𐿦

U+10FE6 "𐿦" Elymaic Letter Zayin is a glyph from the Elymaic script, an ancient abjad used between the 2nd century BCE and the 3rd century CE in the region of Elymais, in what is now southwestern Iran. This character represents the consonant sound "z", akin to the Phoenician and Aramaic letter Zayin, and was part of an alphabet employed primarily for inscribing coins and stone monuments of local rulers. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates the digital encoding and study of this historical writing system, which was influenced by earlier Semitic scripts and provides valuable insight into the linguistic and cultural heritage of the ancient Near East.
