U+10948 "𐥈" Sidetic Letter N09 is a glyph from the Sidetic script, an ancient alphabet used primarily in the region of Pamphylia and parts of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the Hellenistic period, roughly from the 5th to the 2nd century BCE. This character represents a specific consonant or syllabic sound in the Sidetic language, which remains only partially deciphered through limited inscriptions on coins and stone monuments. The "N09" designation refers to its codified position within the Sidetic block of the Unicode Standard, ensuring its digital representation and preservation for historical linguistic and paleographic studies. Its inclusion in Unicode aids scholars in analyzing the limited corpus of Sidetic texts, offering a window into the writing system of a little-known ancient culture where Greek and local influences merged.
