U+109A1 "𐦡" Meroitic Cursive Letter E Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐦡
U+109A1 "𐦡" Meroitic Cursive Letter E is a glyph from the Meroitic Cursive script, an ancient writing system used in the Kingdom of Kush (in present-day Sudan) between the 3rd century BCE and the 5th century CE. This particular character represents the sound "e" and is distinguished by its flowing, joined form, which contrasts with the more angular shapes of Meroitic Hieroglyphs. As part of the Meroitic Cursive block in Unicode, it helps preserve and digitally represent a script that was primarily employed for daily administrative and funerary texts, offering modern researchers and typographers a tool to study and reproduce this historically significant but undeciphered language.
