U+1039B "𐎛" Ugaritic Letter I Unicode Character

U+1039B "𐎛" Ugaritic Letter I is a cuneiform symbol from the ancient Ugaritic alphabet, a script used primarily between the 14th and 12th centuries BCE in the city of Ugarit, located in modern day Syria. This character represents the vowel sound /i/ and is part of a 30 letter consonantal alphabet that was one of the earliest to use a systematic ordering. The Ugaritic script was written from left to right and was often inscribed on clay tablets using a wedge shaped stylus, making it a direct precursor to later Semitic writing systems.
