Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+109A6 "𐦦" Meroitic Cursive Letter Ba is a glyph from the Meroitic Cursive script, which was used in the ancient Kingdom of Kush (present-day Sudan) from roughly the 2nd century BCE to the 5th century CE to write the Meroitic language. This script, derived from Egyptian hieroglyphs, evolved into a cursive form for more practical daily writing, and the letter "Ba" represents a specific consonantal sound. Unlike the blockier Meroitic Hieroglyphic signs, the cursive version features a flowing, interconnected style typical of handwriting. The character is part of the Unicode Standard's Meroitic Cursive block, allowing for its digital representation and study in modern computing contexts.
