U+10A6D "𐩭" Old South Arabian Letter Kheth Unicode Character

U+10A6D "𐩭" Old South Arabian Letter Kheth is a glyph from the Old South Arabian script, an ancient abjad used between roughly the 9th century BCE and the 6th century CE to write the Semitic languages of the Sabaean, Minaean, Qatabanian, and Hadramite kingdoms in the region of modern day Yemen and Oman. This specific letter, named Kheth, represents a voiceless velar or pharyngeal fricative sound, similar to the Arabic letter khāʼ, and was carved into stone monuments and inscribed on metal plaques for royal decrees, religious dedications, and commercial records. As part of the Old South Arabian block encoded in Unicode, it helps preserve and digitally represent a writing system that is foundational to the history of the Arabian Peninsula and the development of later Semitic alphabets like Ethiopic.
