U+103BA "𐎺" Old Persian Sign Va Unicode Character

U+103BA "𐎺" Old Persian Sign Va is a cuneiform syllabic character representing the sound "va" and was used in writing the Old Persian language, primarily during the Achaemenid Empire from the 6th to 4th centuries BCE. This sign is part of the Old Persian cuneiform script, which was a semi-syllabic writing system consisting of 36 phonetic signs and 8 logograms, and it appears in monumental inscriptions such as those at Behistun and Persepolis. The character was first encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Old Persian block (U+103A0 to U+103DF) in version 4.1, released in 2005, preserving this ancient script for modern digital use.
