U+2CCE "Ⳏ" Coptic Capital Letter Old Coptic Ha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2CCE "Ⳏ" Coptic Capital Letter Old Coptic Ha is a symbol from the Coptic script, specifically representing an archaic form of the letter "Ha" used in Old Coptic texts. This character is part of the Coptic Unicode block and was encoded to support the transcription of ancient Egyptian language written in a form adapted from the Greek alphabet, with additional letters derived from Demotic. It is typically used in scholarly and historical contexts to accurately represent manuscripts or inscriptions from early Christian Egypt, where Old Coptic served as a precursor to the standardized Coptic alphabet. The capital form of this letter is distinguished typographically from its lowercase counterpart, U+2CCF "ⳏ," and contributes to the broader effort of preserving and rendering the diverse range of Coptic literary and liturgical heritage.
