U+10356 "𐍖" Old Permic Letter Dzhoi Unicode Character

U+10356 "𐍖" Old Permic Letter Dzhoi is a glyph from the Old Permic script, also known as Abur, which was developed in the 14th century by the missionary Stephen of Perm to write the Komi language and other Uralic languages in the region of Perm, Russia. This letter represents the affricate sound /d͡ʒ/ and is used in the historical orthography of Old Permic manuscripts. The character is encoded in the Unicode Old Permic block, which was added to the standard in version 7.0 in 2014 to support the digital preservation and study of this medieval writing system. Its unique shape, resembling a stylized animal or tool, reflects the script’s derivation from a combination of Greek, Cyrillic, and indigenous runic influences.
