U+1445E "𔑞" Anatolian Hieroglyph A085 Unicode Character

U+1445E "𔑞" Anatolian Hieroglyph A085 is a logogram from the Anatolian Hieroglyphic script, which was used primarily in Bronze Age and Iron Age Anatolia, notably by the Hittite Empire and later Neo-Hittite states, to write the Luwian language. This specific sign, cataloged as A085 in standard sign lists, depicts a bird and represents the Luwian word for eagle or bird of prey, functioning both as a semantic determinative and as a phonetic element in compound words. Carved into stone monuments and seals, these hieroglyphs continued to be used into the first millennium BCE, with this character contributing to our understanding of Hittite culture and language through its association with royal or divine symbolism.
