U+10FF6 "𐿶" Elymaic Ligature Zayin-Yodh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐿶

U+10FF6 "𐿶" Elymaic Ligature Zayin-Yodh is a typographic ligature from the Elymaic script, an ancient writing system used in the region of Elymais (in present-day southwestern Iran) from roughly the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. This specific ligature combines the letters zayin and yodh into a single glyph, representing a consonantal cluster or phonetic pairing that likely simplified the writing of certain words in the Elymaic language, which was closely related to Aramaic. The character is part of the Unicode Standard's Elymaic block, added in version 12.0 in 2019, to support historical and scholarly digital representation of this obscure script.
