Old Persian Sign Ru

30/50

𐎽 contributes a sound to an Old Persian spelling; the word comes from the signs around it. It appears inside longer forms such as Kuruš, Cyrus’s name in Old Persian.

Text symbol

What 𐎽 means

It writes the syllable ru inside a longer Old Persian spelling.

In scholarly Latin-letter transliteration, hyphens separate sign readings: Kuruš (Cyrus’s name in Old Persian) is ku-u-ru-u-š, with ru in the middle. The sign also appears in p-ru-u-vi-i-y-t. Old Persian cuneiform, a wedge-marked royal script, took shape in the sixth century BCE. Its oldest secure examples are Darius I’s Bīsotūn inscriptions; development under Cyrus is possible. It resembles Mesopotamian cuneiform but was independently organized; only the sign la was borrowed.

What does it mean if someone sends 𐎽 alone?

A script sample or study note is the likeliest reading.
