𐠀
U+10800 "𐠀" Cypriot Syllable A is the first letter in the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used primarily on the island of Cyprus from around the 11th to the 4th centuries BCE to write the local Eteocypriot language and later the Arcadocypriot dialect of Greek. This syllabic script, deciphered in the 19th century, represents a single syllable rather than an individual phoneme, and the symbol for 'a' resembles a simple, vertical line with a curved top.
