U+1081D "𐠝" Cypriot Syllable Nu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1081D "𐠝" Cypriot Syllable Nu is a character from the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used on the island of Cyprus from roughly the 11th to the 4th centuries BCE to write the local Arcadocypriot Greek dialect. This specific character represents the syllabic sound "nu", like the English "n", and is one of 55 known syllabic signs in that ancient script. The Cypriot syllabary is distinct from the later Greek alphabet, as it derived from the earlier Linear C script and was primarily used for administrative and religious inscriptions, with many surviving examples found on clay tablets and stone monuments. Today, this character is part of the Unicode Standard to support historical and linguistic research, allowing digital preservation and study of this Bronze Age and Iron Age writing system.
