Unicode Version 17.0

𔔃

U+14503 "𔔃" Anatolian Hieroglyph A226 is a logographic sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, which was used primarily in the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age to write the Luwian language in ancient Anatolia, modern-day Turkey. This particular glyph, cataloged as A226 in the standard classification by Emil Forrer and later refined by others, typically represents a phonetic value or a specific word, often associated with a syllabic reading such as "wa" or "wi," though its exact meaning can vary based on context in inscriptions. The character belongs to a corpus of over 500 signs that combine pictorial elements with abstract symbols, carved onto stone monuments, seals, and lead strips, serving as a key to understanding the political and religious life of Hittite and Neo-Hittite states.
