Unicode Version 17.0
ð”’ƒ
U+14483 "ð”’ƒ" Anatolian Hieroglyph A109 is a sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, which was used primarily in the Bronze and Iron Ages to write the Luwian language in what is now modern-day Turkey and northern Syria. This particular glyph represents a phonetic syllabic value, often transcribed as "pa" or "ba," and belongs to a corpus of over 500 distinct signs that were both logographic and syllabic in function. The script was typically carved into stone monuments or inscribed on lead strips, and its decipherment in the 20th century, notably by scholars such as Emmanuel Laroche, has been crucial for understanding the political and cultural history of the Hittite and Neo-Hittite kingdoms.
