U+10394 "𐎔" Ugaritic Letter Pu Unicode Character

U+10394 "𐎔" Ugaritic Letter Pu is a cuneiform symbol representing the syllabic sound "pu" in the Ugaritic alphabet, an ancient Semitic script used in the city-state of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra, Syria) during the Late Bronze Age, around the 14th to 12th centuries BCE. This character is part of the Ugaritic block in Unicode, which was added in version 4.0 of the standard to enable digital encoding of this early writing system, known for its distinctive wedge-shaped marks and its role in recording one of the world's oldest known alphabets. The letter itself corresponds to the sound /p/ followed by the vowel /u/, and it appears in clay tablet inscriptions that have provided valuable insights into ancient Near Eastern language, religion, and literature.
