U+2CC1 "" Coptic Small Letter Sampi is a typographic representation of a letter from the Coptic alphabet, which was used to write the Egyptian language from the early Christian era onward. This specific character, known as "sampi," is derived from the Greek letter of the same name and was employed in Coptic as a numeral sign for the number 900, rather than as a standard phonetic letter in most texts. Its shape resembles a curved or angular form, distinct from its uppercase counterpart U+2CC0, and it is part of the Coptic script block in Unicode, ensuring its preservation for scholarly and liturgical use in studying ancient Egyptian Christianity and linguistic history.
