U+1098C "𐦌" Meroitic Hieroglyphic Letter Ne Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1098C "𐦌" Meroitic Hieroglyphic Letter Ne is a symbol from the Meroitic script, which was used to write the Meroitic language of the ancient Kingdom of Kush in present-day Sudan. This specific character represents the syllabic sound "ne" and belongs to the Meroitic Hieroglyphic block of the Unicode standard, which encodes a set of pictographic signs derived from Egyptian hieroglyphs. Unlike the cursive Meroitic script, these hieroglyphs were typically carved in stone for monumental inscriptions, such as those found in temples and royal tombs from around the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE. The character's inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and study of this extinct writing system, facilitating modern linguistic research and cultural heritage documentation.
