Unicode Version 17.0
𐠼
U+1083C "𐠼" Cypriot Syllable Za is a symbol from the Cypriot syllabary, a script used on the island of Cyprus from around the 11th to the 4th century BCE to write the ancient Cypriot Greek language. This specific character represents the syllable "za" and belongs to the Cypriot Syllabary block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to digitally encode and preserve this historic writing system. The syllabary itself consists of around 55 signs, each representing a combination of a consonant and a vowel, and was primarily used for inscriptions on stone and pottery before being largely replaced by the Greek alphabet.
