Unicode Version 17.0
𐋅
U+102C5 "𐋅" Carian Letter Ii is a specific glyph from the Carian alphabet, an ancient script used primarily in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) from roughly the 7th to the 3rd centuries BCE to write the Carian language. This character represents a syllabic or alphabetic sound, interpreted as /i/ or /ii/, and is part of a larger set of letters that Carian scribes adapted from the Greek alphabet, though with unique local variations that remain partially undeciphered. As a historical artifact encoded in modern digital standards, this character allows scholars and enthusiasts to accurately reproduce and study Carian inscriptions, preserving a fragment of an obscure and only partly understood ancient language.
