U+108EC "𐣬" Hatran Letter Mem Unicode Character

U+108EC "𐣬" Hatran Letter Mem is a letter from the Hatran alphabet, a script used to write the Hatran language, a dialect of Aramaic spoken in the ancient city of Hatra in modern-day Iraq. This specific character represents the sound /m/ and is derived from the earlier Aramaic script, reflecting the historical and cultural significance of Hatra as a major trading and religious center during the Parthian and early Sassanid periods. The Hatran script, which includes this letter, was inscribed on stone monuments and artifacts dating from the 2nd to 3rd centuries CE, and was added to the Unicode standard in 2015 as part of the Hatran block to preserve and enable digital encoding of this extinct writing system.
