U+10ADE "𐫞" Manichaean Letter Qoph Unicode Character

U+10ADE "𐫞" Manichaean Letter Qoph is a glyph from the Manichaean script, an abjad used primarily to write the Middle Iranian languages of Manichaean religious texts, most notably Sogdian, Parthian, and Middle Persian. This specific letter represents the sound /q/, a voiceless uvular plosive, and corresponds to the Semitic letter Qoph from which it is ultimately derived. In the Manichaean writing system, which was developed from a predecessor of the Syriac script, the letter Qoph served as a crucial component for accurately transcribing the phonology of these ancient liturgical and literary languages.
