U+1081B "𐠛" Cypriot Syllable Ni Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐠛

U+1081B "𐠛" Cypriot Syllable Ni is a single character from the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used in ancient Cyprus from roughly the 11th to the 4th century BCE. This character specifically represents the syllabic sound "ni" and is part of a script that was used primarily to inscribe the local Eteocypriot and later the Greek language on stone monuments and pottery. Because the Cypriot syllabary differs from alphabetic systems by representing whole syllables rather than individual phonemes, characters like "𐠛" are essential for understanding how ancient Cypriot languages were written and pronounced. The character is included in the Unicode standard to support scholarly research, digital archiving, and the preservation of historical scripts.
