U+102A5 "š„" Carian Letter R Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
š„
U+102A5 "š„" Carian Letter R is a symbol from the Carian alphabet, which was used in ancient Anatolia primarily between the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE to write the Carian language. This letter represents the sound /r/ or possibly a rhotic like /rĖ/ in the Carian script, which has been deciphered through bilingual inscriptions that connect it to the Greek alphabet. The character is part of the Carian block in Unicode, preserving a fragment of a lesser-known Indo-European language spoken in the region of Caria, in modern-day southwestern Turkey.
