Source: Browser Default
U+109AF "𐦯" Meroitic Cursive Letter Sa is a glyph representing a consonant in the Meroitic script, which was used in the Kingdom of Kush (in present-day Sudan) from roughly the 3rd century BCE to the 5th century CE to write the Meroitic language. This cursive form of the script was employed primarily for everyday documents, such as administrative and religious texts, and the letter "Sa" corresponds to the sound /s/ or perhaps /š/ in the language. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for the digital preservation, study, and accurate representation of this ancient writing system, which was only partially deciphered and remains a key subject of archaeological and linguistic research.
