U+1081C "𐠜" Cypriot Syllable No Unicode Character

U+1081C "𐠜" Cypriot Syllable No is a symbol from the Cypriot syllabary, a writing system used on the island of Cyprus during the Iron Age, primarily between the 11th and 4th centuries BCE, to write the Cypriot Greek and Eteocypriot languages. This specific character represents the syllable "no," as part of a script that consists of about 55 phonetic signs, each denoting a consonant vowel combination, and it was typically inscribed from right to left on stone, clay, and metal artifacts such as the Idalion Tablet. Deciphered in the 19th century, the Cypriot syllabary provides key insights into the linguistic and cultural history of ancient Cyprus by recording local dialects before the eventual adoption of the Greek alphabet.
