U+109B4 "𐦴" Meroitic Cursive Letter Ta Unicode Character

U+109B4 "𐦴" Meroitic Cursive Letter Ta is a glyph from the Meroitic Cursive script, an ancient writing system used in the Kingdom of Kush (present-day Sudan) from around the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ta" and was derived from earlier Egyptian hieroglyphic influences, adapted into a more flowing, cursive form for everyday administrative and religious inscriptions. The Meroitic script was deciphered in the early 20th century, though the language itself remains only partially understood, and this letter is part of the Unicode Standard's Meroitic Cursive block, which was included in version 8.0 in 2015 to preserve and digitally encode this historical writing system.
