U+144CE "𔓎" Anatolian Hieroglyph A179 Unicode Character

U+144CE "𔓎" Anatolian Hieroglyph A179 is a sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, a writing system used primarily in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and parts of Syria during the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age, roughly between the 14th and 7th centuries BCE. This specific glyph represents a phonetic or syllabic value, often transliterated as "huwa" in scholarly studies of the Luwian language, which was commonly recorded using these symbols. Carved into stone monuments, seals, and lead strips, Anatolian hieroglyphs like A179 served both monumental and administrative purposes, and their decipherment has provided crucial insights into the political and cultural history of the region, including the Hittite Empire and its successor states.
