U+2CC6 "Ⳇ" Coptic Capital Letter Old Coptic Esh is a letter historically used in the Old Coptic script, an early stage of the Coptic alphabet adapted from Egyptian Demotic and Greek scripts. This character represents a phoneme akin to the "sh" sound, and it is typically employed in writing certain Egyptian or Coptic words, particularly in religious or magical texts before the standardization of the Coptic alphabet. Unlike the standard late-stage Coptic alphabet, which largely omitted this character, the Old Coptic Esh was retained in some manuscript traditions for transliterating specific Demotic-derived sounds.
