U+1033E "𐌾" Gothic Letter Jer Unicode Character

U+1033E "𐌾" Gothic Letter Jer is a letter from the Gothic alphabet, an ancient writing system devised in the 4th century by Bishop Ulfilas to translate the Bible into the Gothic language, an extinct East Germanic tongue. It represents the sound /j/, similar to the English "y" in "yes," and is derived from the Greek letter iota or possibly the Latin I, reflecting the alphabetic influences on Gothic script. This character is part of the Gothic block in Unicode, which was included to support scholarly and historical documentation of this early Germanic language, and it appears in the limited corpus of Gothic texts, such as the Codex Argenteus, a famous manuscript of Ulfilas's Bible.
