U+10B89 "𐮉" Psalter Pahlavi Letter Kaph Unicode Character

U+10B89 "𐮉" Psalter Pahlavi Letter Kaph is a script character from the Psalter Pahlavi block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in version 7.0 released in 2014, representing the letter "Kaph" used in the Psalter Pahlavi script, a cursive writing system derived from the Aramaic alphabet and employed primarily for writing Middle Persian in Zoroastrian religious manuscripts, particularly the Psalms. This specific letter corresponds to the sound /k/ and is notable for its distinctive looped form, which distinguishes it from the Book Pahlavi and Inscriptional Pahlavi variations of the same script. The inclusion of Psalter Pahlavi in Unicode helps preserve and digitally encode this historical writing system, which is critical for scholarly work on early Iranian languages and Zoroastrian texts.
