U+1038E "𐎎" Ugaritic Letter Mem Unicode Character

U+1038E "𐎎" Ugaritic Letter Mem is a cuneiform symbol from the ancient Ugaritic alphabet, which was used to write the Ugaritic language in the city-state of Ugarit in modern-day Syria during the Late Bronze Age. This character represents the consonant sound “m,” analogous to the letter “mem” in other Semitic scripts such as Phoenician and Hebrew. It is part of the Ugaritic script block in Unicode, which was added to facilitate digital representation and study of this extinct Northwest Semitic language. The Ugaritic Letter Mem is written from left to right and appears in inscriptions and texts dating to around the 14th to 12th centuries BCE.
