Source: Browser Default
U+1098F "𐦏" Meroitic Hieroglyphic Letter Ra-2 is a script symbol from the Meroitic Hieroglyphic block, which was used to write the Meroitic language of the ancient Kingdom of Kush in present-day Sudan. This specific character represents a variant form of the letter "ra," distinguished by its unique hieroglyphic shape compared to other renderings of the same sound in the writing system. Deciphered primarily through bilingual inscriptions, Meroitic Hieroglyphic writing remains only partially understood, and "Ra-2" provides valuable insight into the phonetic and orthographic diversity of this ancient script.
