Unicode Version 17.0
𐠄
U+10804 "𐠄" Cypriot Syllable U is a glyph representing a syllable in the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used on the island of Cyprus from roughly the 11th to the 4th centuries BCE to write the ancient Eteocypriot language and, later, the Arcadocypriot Greek dialect. This specific character encodes the phonetic value "u" and is part of the Cypriot Syllabary block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to support the digital preservation and study of this historical script. In appearance, the symbol typically resembles a stylized, angular form that is consistent with the linear, incised style of the syllabary’s inscriptions, allowing modern scholars to type, display, and analyze this ancient writing system in digital environments.
