U+2CAF "ⲯ" Coptic Small Letter Psi is a glyph from the Coptic script, representing the 24th letter of the Coptic alphabet and corresponding to the sound /ps/ in words of Greek origin. It is derived from the Greek letter psi (Ψ, ψ) and is used in liturgical and scholarly texts for writing the Coptic language, particularly in the Sahidic and Bohairic dialects.
