U+1084A "𐡊" Imperial Aramaic Letter Kaph is a character from the Imperial Aramaic script block, specifically representing the letter "kaph," the eleventh letter of the alphabet used for writing the Aramaic language during the Achaemenid Persian Empire. This letter corresponds to the sound /k/ and is historically significant as part of a writing system that served as a lingua franca for administration and communication across vast territories from roughly the 5th to 3rd centuries BCE. The glyph itself resembles an inverted "V" or a simple hook, reflecting the cursive and angular style typical of Imperial Aramaic inscriptions on stone and papyrus, and it has influenced later scripts including Hebrew and Syriac.
