What 𐔝 means
It is the Elbasan counterpart of Latin t. The sound matches the t at the start of “stop.”
Around 1750, central Albanian Christians devised this original script for the Elbasan Gospel, a manuscript of Albanian Bible passages; Albanian writers then had no shared alphabet. As of 2026, it remains the only known text in Elbasan.
Use Latin t for modern Albanian
Use 𐔝 to reproduce Elbasan text; modern Albanian is written in the Latin alphabet. Most Elbasan letter shapes are original, though some may reflect Greek or Cyrillic forms.
