Unicode Version 17.0

ð”’²

U+144B2 "ð”’²" Anatolian Hieroglyph A151 is a sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, a writing system used primarily in the Bronze and Iron Ages (roughly 14th to 7th centuries BCE) to represent the Luwian language in what is now modern Turkey and northern Syria. This particular glyph, cataloged as A151 in the standard sign list, typically depicts a stylized human ear and is thought to have held a syllabic or logographic value, often associated with the sound or concept of "hearing" or "ear" in monumental inscriptions found on stone monuments and seals. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard since version 7.0 in 2014 allows for digital representation and scholarly study of this ancient script, which was deciphered in the early 20th century and remains crucial for understanding Hittite and Luwian cultural history.
