Unicode Version 17.0
𐊊
U+1028A "𐊊" Lycian Letter J is a letter from the ancient Lycian alphabet, used between roughly 500 and 200 BCE in the region of Lycia in Anatolia (modern-day southwestern Turkey). This glyph represents the sound /j/, akin to the English consonant in "yes," and forms part of a 29 character script that was adapted from the Greek alphabet to write the Lycian language, an Indo-European tongue related to Hittite and Luwian. The character was added to the Unicode Standard in 2014 as part of the Lycian block, allowing it to be digitally represented and studied alongside other ancient scripts.
