U+1448B "ð”’‹" Anatolian Hieroglyph A115 is a glyph from the Anatolian Hieroglyphs script, which was used to write the Luwian language in Anatolia and northern Syria during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, roughly between 1400 and 700 BCE. This specific character, cataloged as A115 by the script's classifier Emmanuel Laroche, depicts a stylized human head or face in profile, often interpreted as a logogram for "person" or a related human concept. It belongs to the rich corpus of over 500 known signs in this script, which was primarily carved on stone monuments and seals, and was deciphered in the early 20th century through combined efforts of scholars studying bilingual inscriptions. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard since version 8.0 (2015) allows for its digital representation and preservation, enabling modern researchers and enthusiasts to accurately encode and share this ancient writing system across electronic texts.
