Unicode Version 17.0
U+14402 "𔐂" Anatolian Hieroglyph A003 is a specific sign from the Luwian hieroglyphic script used primarily in Anatolia during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, roughly between the 14th and 7th centuries BCE. This character belongs to the Anatolian Hieroglyphs block and represents a syllabic or logographic glyph, often associated with the sound or concept linked to a bird or avian creature, although its precise phonetic value can vary depending on context within inscriptions. These hieroglyphs were employed in monumental stone carvings, seals, and lead strips to convey the Luwian language, a member of the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European family. The inclusion of A003 in Unicode allows for digital representation and study of these ancient texts, aiding scholars in deciphering the complex cultural and linguistic heritage of the Hittite and Neo-Hittite states.
