A comparison of the Cypriot syllabic script (used on Cyprus until the 4th century BC) and Japanese katakana reveals that many signs share identical or similar graphical forms for the same phonetic values — despite having no historical connection. A full Unicode-based table maps Cypriot syllabary glyphs to their katakana counterparts across all vowel combinations (A, E, I, O, U rows), illustrating this coincidence. The post draws from Louis Godart's 1994 book on the Phaistos Disc and references a 2013 doctoral thesis on Aegean syllabary interconnections.
