U+10991 "𐦑" Meroitic Hieroglyphic Letter Kha Unicode Character

U+10991 "𐦑" Meroitic Hieroglyphic Letter Kha is a glyph from the Meroitic Hieroglyphic script, an ancient writing system used in the Kingdom of Meroe, located in present-day Sudan, from around the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This character represents the sound "kha" (a voiceless velar fricative), and it is part of a syllabic script that evolved from Egyptian hieroglyphs but was adapted to write the Meroitic language, which remains only partially deciphered. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard at version 6.1 in 2012 has enabled digital preservation and scholarly study of this historical script.
