Unicode Version 17.0
𐊯
U+102AF "𐊯" Carian Letter Sh2 is a glyph from the Carian script, an ancient writing system used in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and parts of the Aegean region, primarily between the 7th and 1st centuries BCE. This specific letter represents a sound value similar to "sh" or /ʃ/ in the Carian language, which remains only partially deciphered. Carian inscriptions have been found on stone monuments, coins, and pottery, and the script itself is alphabetic, consisting of around 30 characters. The "Sh2" designation helps distinguish this letter from other Carian signs with similar phonetic roles, such as the Carian letter Sh (U+102A7).
