U+109B6 "𐦶" Meroitic Cursive Letter To is a glyph from the Meroitic Cursive script, an ancient writing system used in the Kingdom of Kush, located in present-day Sudan, from roughly the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This specific letter represents the syllable "to" and was part of a cursive form adapted for everyday administrative and funerary inscriptions, written from right to left. It belongs to the Meroitic Cursive block of the Unicode Standard, encoding characters originally transcribed from archaeological artifacts such as stelae and papyri. The script, which derived from Egyptian hieroglyphs but featured simplified and flowing shapes, remains crucial for understanding the Meroitic language, though its full decipherment is incomplete.
