Ⳕ
U+2CD4 "Ⳕ" Coptic Capital Letter Old Coptic Hat is a grapheme used in the Coptic script, specifically representing a letter from the Old Coptic alphabet that was employed in early Egyptian Christian texts prior to the standardization of the Coptic writing system. This character is a capital letter, and its name "Hat" refers to its phonetic value, which corresponds to a sound similar to the Greek letter eta or a long "e" in English, though it historically derives from a Demotic Egyptian sign. It appears in scholarly editions of ancient manuscripts and digital typography to accurately preserve the orthography of Old Coptic inscriptions and liturgical documents.
