Unicode Version 17.0

𐊬

U+102AC "𐊬" Carian Letter D2 is part of the Carian script, an ancient writing system used primarily in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) from roughly the 7th to the 4th centuries BCE to write the Carian language, which remains only partially deciphered. This specific letter represents a sound value typically transcribed as "d" or a similar dental consonant, belonging to a group of characters that scholars have identified through comparative analysis with other ancient scripts such as Greek and Phoenician. The Carian alphabet itself had several regional variants, and this character is one of many unique symbols that distinguish the script, found primarily on stone inscriptions and coins from the region of Caria. As a historic writing system, Carian remains an important subject for linguists and epigraphers studying the ancient cultures of the eastern Mediterranean.
