U+10F0B "𐼋" Old Sogdian Letter Kaph Unicode Character

U+10F0B "𐼋" Old Sogdian Letter Kaph is a glyph from the Old Sogdian script, used primarily between the 4th and 8th centuries CE to write the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian tongue spoken in parts of Central Asia along the Silk Road. This character represents the sound /k/ and is the equivalent of the Semitic letter Kaph, from which it is ultimately derived. It forms part of a cursive, right-to-left abjad that profoundly influenced later writing systems, including the Uyghur and Mongolian scripts. The letter appears in inscriptions and manuscripts from Sogdian trading communities, reflecting the language's role in commerce, religion, and cultural exchange across ancient Eurasia.
