Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0802 "ࠂ" Samaritan Letter Gaman is a glyph from the Samaritan script, an ancient writing system derived from Paleo-Hebrew used by the Samaritan community for liturgical and sometimes secular purposes. This specific letter represents the voiced velar plosive sound /g/, akin to the English "g" in "go," and its name "Gaman" corresponds to the Hebrew letter Gimel. Part of the Samaritan block in Unicode, it is historically significant for preserving the textual traditions of the Samaritan Pentateuch, a version of the Torah distinct from the Jewish Masoretic text.
