    @vnikolov Well, sort of.

    The corresponding Coptic letter is Ϣ. As you know, most Coptic letters come from Greek, but this one is one of the few that comes from Demotic Egyptian, specifically because Greek doesn't have the corresponding sound, and I suppose the loose reinterpretation technique that Greeks had used when Greek letters were still being actively invented, most significantly, to make a couple of Phoenician consonants into Greek vowels, had gone out of fashion.
