U+105F3 "𐗳" Todhri Letter Oo Unicode Character

U+105F3 "𐗳" Todhri Letter Oo is part of the Todhri script block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2024 to encode a historically significant alphabet used primarily for writing the Albanian language. This specific character represents the vowel sound /oː/ similar to the long "o" in English words like "go." The Todhri script, developed in the 18th or 19th century, is attributed to the Albanian scholar and educator Kostandin Kristoforidhi and is recognized as one of several distinct alphabets created for the Albanian language before the standardization of the modern Latin based alphabet. The inclusion of this letter in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent the Todhri script, supporting linguistic research and cultural heritage efforts for Albanian communities.
