U+10803 "𐠃" Cypriot Syllable O is a symbol from the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used primarily on the island of Cyprus during the Iron Age, from around the 11th to the 4th century BCE, to write the Cypriot Greek and Eteocypriot languages. This particular glyph represents the syllabic sound "o" and is part of a script that was deciphered in the 19th century, notably by George Smith, based on bilingual inscriptions. The character is encoded in the Unicode standard under the Cypriot Syllabary block, preserving historical written communication from ancient Cyprus for modern digital use.
