U+10B6E "𐭮" Inscriptional Pahlavi Letter Samekh Unicode Character

U+10B6E "𐭮" Inscriptional Pahlavi Letter Samekh is a script character from the Inscriptional Pahlavi block, representing the letter "Samekh" in the Pahlavi writing system used primarily during the Parthian and Sassanian eras for monumental inscriptions and official documents. This character corresponds to the Semitic letter Samekh, which typically denotes an /s/ sound, and it forms part of a cursive, right to left script that was a key medium for recording Middle Persian, Parthian, and other Middle Iranian languages. The Inscriptional Pahlavi script itself is distinguished by its angular, connected letterforms, and "𐭮" as a specific grapheme appears on stone carvings, seals, and coins, providing modern scholars with crucial evidence for understanding the history, religion, and administration of pre Islamic Iran.
