Coptic Unicode Characters page 2

The Coptic block contains characters used in the Coptic script, which is an adaptation of the Greek alphabet with additional characters from Demotic Egyptian. The Coptic script was used for writing the Coptic language, the last stage of the ancient Egyptian language. The script was primarily used in religious texts by the Coptic Orthodox Church, which continues to use the script in liturgical contexts today. This block includes all the characters needed to write in Coptic, reflecting its importance in the preservation of Egyptian heritage and Christian liturgy..
