𐠌
U+1080C "𐠌" Cypriot Syllable Ki is a historical writing symbol from the Cypriot syllabary, a script used primarily on the island of Cyprus during the Iron Age, approximately from the 11th to the 4th centuries BCE, to write the ancient Cypriot Greek and Eteocypriot languages. This specific glyph represents the syllable "ki" and is part of a linear, logo-syllabic system that was deciphered in the 19th century, providing crucial insight into the linguistic and cultural connections between Cyprus and the broader ancient Mediterranean world, particularly the Mycenaean Greek and Phoenician civilizations.
