𔔀

U+14500 "𔔀" Anatolian Hieroglyph A223 is a logogram from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, often used to represent the Luwian word for "great" or "grandeur" and conceptually echoes similar broad symbols for strength or magnitude across other ancient writing systems. Carved primarily on stone monuments and seals during the Bronze and Iron Ages in regions of modern-day Turkey and Syria, this glyph belongs to a complex syllabic system that also includes phonetic signs and determinatives. Its precise phonetic value and contextual usage remain a subject of scholarly debate, though it is generally associated with royal inscriptions and ceremonial contexts. The character helps illuminate the administrative and religious life of the Hittite and Neo-Hittite states, offering a tangible link to their linguistic and artistic heritage.
