U+10802 "𐠂" Cypriot Syllable I Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐠂

U+10802 "𐠂" Cypriot Syllable I is a glyph from the Cypriot syllabary, a historical writing system used on the island of Cyprus from around the 11th to the 4th centuries BCE to write the ancient Cypriot Greek and Eteocypriot languages. This particular character represents the syllable "i" and was inscribed primarily on clay tablets, stone monuments, and metal objects, often in a right-to-left horizontal script. The Cypriot syllabary itself is a linear script containing about 56 signs, which was deciphered in the 19th century and is related to the earlier Cypro-Minoan writing system. As part of the Unicode Standard's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, this character helps preserve and digitally represent an ancient script critical for understanding the linguistic and cultural history of pre-Classical Cyprus.
