U+10867 "𐡧" Palmyrene Letter Heth Unicode Character

U+10867 "𐡧" Palmyrene Letter Heth is a glyph from the Palmyrene script, an ancient Aramaic alphabet used in the city of Palmyra in Syria from around the 1st century BCE to the 3rd century CE. This specific letter represents the voiceless pharyngeal fricative sound /ħ/, analogous to the eighth letter of the Semitic abjads, and its character design often resembles a simplified, open form distinct from later cursive adaptations. The inclusion of Palmyrene in Unicode preserves a historical writing system primarily known from inscriptions on stone and trade documents, allowing for digital representation of a language that flourished during the era of the Palmyrene Empire.
