U+10396 "𐎖" Ugaritic Letter Qopa is a grapheme from the Ugaritic script, a cuneiform alphabet used to write the Ugaritic language in the ancient city of Ugarit, in modern-day Syria, during the Late Bronze Age, around the 14th to 12th centuries BCE. This character represents the consonant sound typically transliterated as "q" and is part of an abjad writing system that influenced the development of subsequent alphabets, including Phoenician and Hebrew. The letter Qopa corresponds to the 19th letter in the Ugaritic alphabetical order and holds phonetic significance in reconstructing the Semitic languages, as its presence helps scholars understand the phonological structure of ancient Northwest Semitic speech.
