Unicode Version 17.0

𐋁

U+102C1 "𐋁" Carian Letter G2 is a symbol from the Carian alphabet, an ancient script used primarily in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) between the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE to write the Carian language, a member of the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European family. This particular letter, designated as G2 in scholarly notation, represents a specific phonetic sound, likely a velar or palatal consonant, though its exact pronunciation remains debated due to the partial decipherment of the script. The character itself is part of the Unicode Carian block, added to the standard in 2012 to support digital representation of this historical writing system, which was deciphered primarily through bilingual inscriptions found in Egypt and Carian archaeological sites.
