U+10823 "ЁРаг" Cypriot Syllable Ra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ЁРаг
U+10823 "ЁРаг" Cypriot Syllable Ra is a symbol from the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used on the island of Cyprus during the Iron Age, primarily between the 11th and 4th centuries BC, to record the Cypriot Greek and Eteocypriot languages. This character represents the syllabic sound "ra" and belongs to a script that was deciphered in the 19th century, typically written from right to left. The Cypriot syllabary is related to the Linear A and Linear B scripts of Minoan and Mycenaean Greece, and it fell out of use after the adoption of the Greek alphabet. Today, the "Cypriot Syllable Ra" glyph is encoded in Unicode’s Cypriot Syllabary block for digital text representation, preserving ancient linguistic heritage.
