Unicode Version 17.0
𐋋
U+102CB "𐋋" Carian Letter Mb2 is part of the Carian script, an ancient writing system used primarily in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) between the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE to write the Carian language. This specific character represents a syllabic sign, likely corresponding to the sound "mb" or a similar nasalized bilabial, and it belongs to a group of letters that were deciphered primarily through bilingual inscriptions, such as those found in Egypt. The script's inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and study of this historical language, which remains only partially understood by modern linguists.
