U+1081F "𐠟" Cypriot Syllable Pe Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐠟

U+1081F "𐠟" Cypriot Syllable Pe is a character from the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used primarily in Cyprus during the 1st millennium BCE to write the Arcadocypriot dialect of ancient Greek. This specific character represents the phonetic sound "pe," as part of a syllabary that consisted of signs for open syllables, such as CV (consonant-vowel) patterns, and was typically inscribed on clay tablets and stone monuments. The Cypriot syllabary was derived from the earlier Linear C script, which itself evolved from Linear A and Linear B, and it fell into disuse after the Greek alphabet became dominant in the region. Today, U+1081F is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Cypriot Syllabary block, enabling digital representation and preservation of this historical script in modern text systems.
