Palmyrene Unicode Characters page 1

The Palmyrene block contains characters used in the Palmyrene script, which was used to write the Aramaic language in the ancient city of Palmyra (modern-day Syria) from the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. The script is an abjad, with letters representing consonants, and it was used primarily for monumental inscriptions and official documents.
