U+103CF "𐏏" Old Persian Sign Buumish Unicode Character

U+103CF "𐏏" Old Persian Sign Buumish is a cuneiform symbol from the Old Persian script, representing the word for "god" or a specific deity, likely associated with the god Mithra or similar, though its exact phonetic value remains uncertain in scholarly contexts. This character was used in monumental inscriptions from the Achaemenid Empire, particularly in the trilingual Behistan Inscription of Darius the Great, where it appears as a logogram within sacred or royal declarations. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves a key element of ancient Persian writing, allowing digital representation and study of this early form of cuneiform, which was deciphered in the 19th century and belongs to a script system of 36 distinct signs, mostly syllabic but with a few ideograms like this one.
