U+10B53 "𐭓" Inscriptional Parthian Letter Resh is a character from the Inscriptional Parthian script, which was used to write the Parthian language during the Arsacid Empire from roughly the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. This letter represents the sound equivalent to the modern "R" and is part of a right-to-left script derived from Aramaic, often found on stone monuments, coins, and clay tablets. It appears as a distinct angular glyph, resembling a smaller, open curve or hook, and was used in administrative and royal inscriptions to record the language of the Parthian people, who ruled over a vast region in ancient Iran and Mesopotamia.
