U+10824 "ЁРад" Cypriot Syllable Re Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ЁРад

U+10824 "ЁРад" Cypriot Syllable Re is a historically significant symbol representing the syllabic sound "re" in the Cypriot syllabary, a script used primarily on the island of Cyprus during the Iron Age, roughly from the 11th to the 4th centuries BCE, to write the ancient Cypriot Greek dialect. This script, which consists of over 50 distinct characters for syllables and some for vowels, was largely deciphered in the 19th century and served as a link between earlier Linear A and later Greek alphabetic writing. The character itself appears as a stylized glyph with a rounded, seal-like shape, often featuring a central dot or loop, and is part of the Unicode Cypriot Syllabary block, recognized for encoding ancient scripts to aid in digital preservation and scholarly study of historical languages.
