Manichaean is a Unicode block containing characters historically used for writing Sogdian, Parthian, and the dialects of Fars.[3]
Block
The block has five variation sequences defined for standardized variants.[4] They use U+FE00 VARIATION SELECTOR-1 (VS1) to denote alternate letter forms:[3]
| U+ | 10AC5 | 10AC6 | 10AD6 | 10AD7 | 10AE1 |
| base code point | 𐫅 | 𐫆 | 𐫖 | 𐫗 | 𐫡 |
| base + VS01 | 𐫅︀ | 𐫆︀ | 𐫖︀ | 𐫗︀ | 𐫡︀ |
