The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Yodh (also spelled jodh, yod, or jod) is the tenth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician yΕd π€, Hebrew yud Χ, Aramaic yod π‘, Syriac yΕαΈ ά, and Arabic yΔΚΎ Ω. Its sound value is /j/ in all languages for which it is used; in many languages, it also serves as a long vowel, representing /iΛ/.
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Iota (Ξ), Latin I and J, Cyrillic Π, Coptic iauda (β²) and Gothic eis .
The term yod is often used to refer to the speech sound [j], a palatal approximant, even in discussions of languages not written in Semitic abjads, as in phonological phenomena such as English "yod-dropping".
