U+1036C "𐍬" Old Permic Letter Ha Unicode Character

U+1036C "𐍬" Old Permic Letter Ha is a character from the Old Permic script, also known as Abur, which was developed in the 14th century by the missionary Saint Stephen of Perm to write the Komi language. This letter specifically represents the voiceless glottal fricative sound /h/ and is part of a small alphabet derived from modified Greek and Cyrillic letters, as well as local Tamga symbols. The Old Permic script was historically used for liturgical texts and official records, but it gradually fell out of use in favor of Cyrillic during the 17th century. Today, the Old Permic Letter Ha is encoded in the Unicode Standard primarily for historical and scholarly purposes, allowing digital preservation and study of medieval Uralic language manuscripts.
