U+10563 "𐕣" Caucasian Albanian Letter Kiw is a character from the historic Caucasian Albanian script, which was used from the 5th to the 7th century in the region of what is now Azerbaijan and Georgia, primarily to write the Caucasian Albanian language, an early form of Udi. This specific letter, named Kiw, represents a distinct consonant sound in the ancient alphabet, which consisted of 52 characters and was likely developed as a Christian liturgical script. The character fell into disuse for centuries before being added to Unicode, helping preserve this endangered linguistic heritage.
