Cypriot Syllabary

U+10800 – U+1083F   (67584–67647)

The Cypriot Syllabary range was introduced with version 4.0 of the Unicode Standard and is located in Plane 1 (the Supplementary Multilingual Plane). Windows XP and later versions support supplementary characters by default. In Windows 2000, you need to enable support for supplementary characters. These characters cannot easily be displayed in earlier versions of Windows.

Cypriot syllabic writing (also known as Cypro-Minoan) appeared in Cyprus around 700 B.C., and for a few hundred years it was used for writing Greek and some local languages. It was normally written right to left.

The characters that appear in the “Character” columns of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.

You can find some or all of the characters in this range in the Windows Unicode fonts Aegean, ALPHABETUM Unicode, Code2001, EversonMono and MPH 2B Damase.

To see exactly which characters are included in a particular font, you can use a utility such as Andrew West’s BabelMap, or Apple’s Character Palette.

If you are not familiar with the characters, you can check the characters displayed here with the graphical display at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U10800.pdf.
