elbasan letter u

Elbasan Letter U

32/40

𐔟 is the letter u in the Elbasan script, a historical Albanian alphabet. The script was made around 1750 for the Elbasan Gospel manuscript, which records Gospel passages translated into Albanian; as of 2026, this manuscript is the script’s only known written example. Most letters seem newly created, though some shapes may reflect Greek or Cyrillic; read 𐔟 as a letter in this script, not an emoji.

Why does 𐔟 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Elbasan block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
