Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+10542 "𐕂" Caucasian Albanian Letter Car is a character from the historical Caucasian Albanian script, which was used to write the Old Udi language primarily in the region of present-day Azerbaijan and southern Russia between the 5th and 12th centuries. The letter specifically denotes the sound /ts/ or a similar affricate, as reconstructed by scholars of the script's phonology. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard in 2014 under the Caucasian Albanian block helps preserve the textual record of this medieval alphabet, which was rediscovered through ancient manuscripts and inscriptions, notably the Sinai palimpsests that contain Christian texts in this long defunct writing system.
