U+1080D "𐠍" Cypriot Syllable Ko Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐠍
U+1080D "𐠍" Cypriot Syllable Ko is a symbol from the Cypriot syllabary, an ancient writing system used on the island of Cyprus from about the 11th to the 4th centuries BCE to write the Eteocypriot and Arcadocypriot Greek languages. This particular character represents the syllable "ko" and belongs to the Cypriot syllabary block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in its version 4.0 released in 2003. The script is written from right to left and consists of approximately 55 characters, each corresponding to a consonant-vowel combination, making it a true syllabary rather than an alphabet. Today, "𐠍" is primarily of interest to linguists, historians, and digital typographers working with ancient scripts and their modern encoding.
