U+109AD "𐦭" Meroitic Cursive Letter Kha Unicode Character

U+109AD "𐦭" Meroitic Cursive Letter Kha is a glyph from the Meroitic Cursive script, which was used in the Kingdom of Kush (present-day Sudan) from approximately the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE to write the Meroitic language. This character represents the consonant sound /x/ (like the "ch" in the Scottish word "loch") and is part of a derived, simplified cursive form of the earlier Meroitic hieroglyphic script, typically written from right to left. The Meroitic Cursive script remains only partially deciphered, but the letter Kha, along with other characters, was systematically encoded in Unicode version 6.1 in 2012 to support digital preservation and study of this ancient African writing system.
