U+169A "ᚚ" Ogham Letter Peith Unicode Character

U+169A "ᚚ" Ogham Letter Peith is a glyph from the Ogham alphabet, an early medieval script used primarily to write the early Irish language, often found inscribed on stone monuments. This specific character represents the phonetic sound "p," which was a relatively rare and late addition to the Ogham set, likely borrowed to accommodate loanwords from Latin and other languages. Known as Peith, it holds a place among the Forfeda, the supplementary group of letters added to the core twenty-character alphabet, and its inclusion reflects the adaptability of Ogham to evolving linguistic needs in ancient Ireland and Britain.
