U+102C8 "𐋈" Carian Letter Uuu2 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐋈

U+102C8 "𐋈" Carian Letter Uuu2 is a symbol from the Carian script, an ancient writing system used primarily in parts of Anatolia (modern‑day Turkey) from roughly the 7th to the 4th century BCE. This particular character represents a sound value that researchers have identified as something like a labialized velar approximant or a similar consonant, though the exact phonetic interpretation of Carian letters remains the subject of scholarly debate due to the script’s partially deciphered status. It belongs to the Carian block of Unicode, which was added to the standard to preserve and enable digital representation of this historical alphabet, and the letter’s name "Uuu2" follows a conventional labeling system used by epigraphers to distinguish it from other similar glyphs in the Carian corpus.
