U+05E2 "ע" Hebrew Letter Ayin is the sixteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, historically representing a voiced pharyngeal fricative sound in ancient Semitic languages, though in modern Hebrew it is typically silent or realized as a glottal stop by many speakers. Its name, Ayin, means "eye" in Hebrew, reflecting the letter's original pictographic origin as a symbol for an eye. In the Hebrew numeric system, it carries the value of 70, and it appears in many foundational Hebrew words, including "עם" (am, meaning "people") and "עולם" (olam, meaning "world" or "eternity").
