Unicode Version 17.0

𐊢

U+102A2 "𐊢" Carian Letter D is a symbol from the Carian script, an ancient writing system used primarily in the region of Caria in western Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the first millennium BCE. This specific character represents the letter "d" in the Carian alphabet, which was deciphered in the 20th century and is thought to be derived from the Greek alphabet but with unique local adaptations. The Carian language itself is not fully understood, classified as part of the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European language family, and the letter appears in inscriptions on stone monuments and coins, contributing to the study of ancient Anatolian cultures and their interactions with neighboring civilizations like the Greeks, Lydians, and Persians.
