Unicode Version 17.0
𐤲
U+10932 "𐤲" Lydian Letter Q is a glyph from the Lydian alphabet, an ancient script used to write the Lydian language in western Anatolia during the first millennium BCE. This letter represents a voiceless uvular or velar stop sound, similar to the "q" in other Semitic-derived scripts, and it is part of the Lydian block in Unicode, which was added to support historical linguistic research and digital preservation of the language. The character visually resembles a stylized circular or angular form with a tail, reflecting its origins in the adaptation of the Phoenician alphabet by the Lydian civilization, which flourished until its cultural absorption into the Achaemenid Empire.
