U+10B32 "𐬲" Avestan Letter Zhe Unicode Character

U+10B32 "𐬲" Avestan Letter Zhe is a script character used to write the Avestan language, an ancient Eastern Iranian language associated with the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism. This letter represents a voiced postalveolar fricative sound, similar to the "zh" sound in the English word "pleasure." It belongs to the Avestan alphabet, which was developed during the Sassanid Empire to phonetically transcribe the oral Zoroastrian liturgy, and "𐬲" is typically written from right to left in its script block. In Unicode, it is encoded in the Avestan block, which was added in version 5.2 of the Unicode Standard to preserve and facilitate digital representation of this historically significant writing system.
