U+10820 "𐠠" Cypriot Syllable Pi is a symbol from the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used on the island of Cyprus from roughly the 11th to the 4th centuries BCE to record the ancient Eteocypriot language and the Arcadocypriot dialect of Greek. Representing the phonetic value /pi/, this character is one of 55 identified syllabic signs in the script, which was written from right to left and primarily used for inscriptions on stone and clay. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard under the Cypriot Syllabary block (U+10800 to U+1083F) ensures that scholars and linguists can digitally preserve and study this historically significant script, which remains only partially deciphered.
