U+10526 "𐔦" Elbasan Letter Ghamma Unicode Character

U+10526 "𐔦" Elbasan Letter Ghamma is a letter from the Elbasan script, an alphabetic writing system created in the mid 18th century for the Albanian language. This specific character represents the voiced velar fricative sound, similar to the "gh" in English "ghost" or the Greek gamma before back vowels. The Elbasan script was developed by the Albanian monk and scholar Gregory of Durrës and was used primarily in religious texts and educational materials in central Albania. While the script saw limited historical use before being largely replaced by Latin and Greek alphabets, the Elbasan Letter Ghamma remains a significant part of Albanian linguistic heritage and is encoded in Unicode to preserve it for digital use and scholarly study.
