U+102CF "𐋏" Carian Letter E2 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+102CF "𐋏" Carian Letter E2 is a symbol from 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, which is not fully deciphered but is considered part of the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European family. This specific glyph represents a phonetic sound, likely a vowel-like or syllabic value, as part of an alphabet that was adapted from the Greek script but includes unique local innovations. The Carian alphabet was inscribed on stone monuments, coins, and pottery, often for funerary or dedicatory purposes, and its letters, including Carian Letter E2, are now encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Old Italic and Carian block to support digital preservation and scholarly study of this ancient and rare writing system.
