U+10B08 "𐬈" Avestan Letter E Unicode Character

U+10B08 "𐬈" Avestan Letter E is a character from the Avestan script, an alphabet historically used to write the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism, known as the Avesta. This particular letter represents a short vowel sound, specifically the close-mid front unrounded vowel /e/, and it is an essential component of the script which was developed to phonetically preserve the ancient Avestan language. The character is encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the Avestan block, which was added in Unicode version 5.2 to support the digital representation of this historically significant and nearly extinct liturgical language.
