U+1080A "𐠊" Cypriot Syllable Ka Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐠊
U+1080A "𐠊" Cypriot Syllable Ka is a glyph representing the syllabic sign for the sound "ka" in the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used in Cyprus during the first millennium BCE. This script was employed to write the ancient Cypriot Greek language, primarily on clay tablets and stone inscriptions, and it features a unique set of characters distinct from Linear B and other contemporary syllabaries. The character itself typically appears as a stylized, linear form resembling a cross or a plus sign with additional strokes, though its exact shape can vary slightly depending on the font and historical source. As part of the Cypriot Syllabary block in Unicode, this character is preserved for historical and linguistic digital documentation.
