Unicode Version 17.0

𐿬

U+10FEC "𐿬" Elymaic Letter Mem is a character from the Elymaic script, an ancient writing system used in the region of Elymais in southwestern Iran, primarily between the 2nd century BCE and the 3rd century CE. This specific character represents the sound "m," analogous to the Hebrew and Phoenician letter Mem, and was a component of an undeciphered or partially deciphered corpus of inscriptions found on coins and stone monuments from that historical period. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard under the Elymaic block enables digital preservation and study of this rare script, supporting academic research into the linguistic and cultural history of Hellenistic-era Iran.
