U+14416 "𔐖" Anatolian Hieroglyph A022 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𔐖

U+14416 "𔐖" Anatolian Hieroglyph A022 is a sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, a logographic and syllabic writing system used primarily in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages for the Luwian language in what is now modern Turkey and northern Syria. This specific glyph, cataloged as A022 in the standard sign list, typically represents a phonetic syllable like "sa" or "sà" and is often found in monumental stone inscriptions and seals of the Hittite and Neo-Hittite periods. The script remained largely undeciphered until the 20th century, and this character, with its distinct shape of a curved line and internal marks, continues to be studied by linguists and historians to better understand Luwian phonology and the cultural connections between ancient Anatolian civilizations.
