U+10292 "𐊒" Lycian Letter U Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐊒
U+10292 "𐊒" Lycian Letter U is a glyph from the Lycian script, an ancient alphabet used to write the Lycian language in the region of Lycia in southwestern Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) from roughly the 5th to the 4th century BCE. This character represents the vowel sound /u/ and is part of a 29-letter alphabet that was derived from the Greek script but adapted to fit the phonetic needs of the Lycian language. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard under the Lycian block helps preserve and digitally represent this extinct language, which is known primarily from stone inscriptions and coin legends, offering modern scholars a crucial tool for studying ancient Anatolian history and linguistics.
