U+10B00 "𐬀" Avestan Letter A Unicode Character

U+10B00 "𐬀" Avestan Letter A is a character from the Avestan script, which was historically used to write the Avestan language, the sacred language of Zoroastrianism. It represents the long vowel sound "a" and is a foundational letter in the Avestan alphabet, which was developed during the Sassanian period to preserve the oral recitations of the Zoroastrian holy texts. Added to Unicode in 2009 as part of version 5.2, this character resides in the Avestan block and is used today primarily in scholarly editions and liturgical contexts by the Zoroastrian community to maintain the accurate pronunciation and transcription of ancient prayers and scriptures.
