U+10282 "𐊂" Lycian Letter B is a character from the Lycian alphabet, an ancient script used to write the Lycian language in southwestern Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) from approximately 500 to 300 BCE. Representing the voiced bilabial stop sound /b/, this letter is part of a historically significant syllabic and alphabetic system derived from the Greek alphabet, which was deciphered in the 19th century but is only partially understood. The glyph resembles a simplified, angular form of a Latin 'b' and is classified under the Lycian block of the Unicode Standard, enabling digital representation and preservation of this extinct language for linguistic and archaeological research.
