U+10B21 "𐬡" Avestan Letter Bhe is a character from the Avestan script, which was historically used to write the Avestan language, the sacred language of Zoroastrianism, dating back over a millennium. This specific letter represents a voiced bilabial fricative sound, similar to the English "v" or a breathy "b", and it is distinct from the simpler letter Be (𐬠) due to the addition of a diacritical modifier that indicates aspiration or frication. As part of the Avestan alphabet, Bhe was primarily employed in religious and liturgical manuscripts to transcribe Zoroastrian texts, preserving the precise phonetic nuances of the language.
