Source: Browser Default
U+072F "ܯ" Syriac Letter Persian Dhalath is a grapheme used in the Syriac script, specifically representing a voiced dental fricative sound similar to the English "th" in "that," and it is employed in writing certain Persian or Arabic loanwords within Syriac texts. This character is part of the Syriac block in Unicode and is distinct from the standard Syriac letter Dalath, as it includes a diacritical mark to indicate its Persian origin and phonetic value. It appears in historical and liturgical manuscripts, as well as modern Neo Aramaic written forms, where it helps preserve the pronunciation of borrowed vocabulary.
