Unicode Version 17.0
𐊉
U+10289 "𐊉" Lycian Letter Th is a glyph from the Lycian alphabet, an ancient script used to write the Lycian language in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) from roughly 500 to 300 BCE. This specific letter represents the sound /θ/ (unvoiced "th" as in "think") and corresponds to the Greek letter theta, reflecting cultural and linguistic exchange in the region. Deciphered from inscriptions on stone monuments and tombs, the Lycian script includes 29 letters and was written left-to-right, with this character being one of its unique symbols that help scholars understand the extinct Anatolian branch of the Indo-European language family.
