U+10B48 "𐭈" Inscriptional Parthian Letter Teth Unicode Character
U+10B48 "𐭈" Inscriptional Parthian Letter Teth is a character from the Inscriptional Parthian script, which was used to write the Parthian language, an extinct Middle Iranian language spoken in the ancient region of Parthia, located in present-day northeastern Iran. This specific letter, Teth, corresponds to a voiced dental fricative sound similar to the English "th" in "the" and is part of a right-to-left abjad script that was commonly used in stone inscriptions and administrative texts during the Arsacid or Parthian Empire from around the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. The character was added to the Unicode standard in version 5.2, released in 2009, as part of a larger block for Inscriptional Parthian that helps preserve and digitally represent this historical writing system for scholars and modern users.
