U+10924 "𐤤" Lydian Letter E Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐤤
U+10924 "𐤤" Lydian Letter E is a glyph representing the letter 'e' in the Lydian alphabet, an ancient script used to write the Lydian language in western Anatolia, primarily during the first millennium BCE. This character, part of the Lydian block in Unicode, corresponds to a sound similar to the short 'e' in English and is one of several letters with no clear direct ancestor in the Greek or Phoenician alphabets, though the Lydian script itself was adapted from those systems. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for the digital representation and study of this extinct language, aiding historians and linguists in analyzing inscriptions found on artifacts such as coins, pottery, and stone monuments from the region.
