U+14506 "𔔆" Anatolian Hieroglyph A228 is a sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, which was used primarily by the Luwian people in Anatolia and parts of Syria during the Late Bronze and Iron Ages, roughly from the 14th to the 7th centuries BCE. This specific glyph, cataloged as A228 in the standard classification, represents a pictographic symbol whose exact phonetic value and meaning are still debated among scholars, though it is often associated with a logographic or syllabic function within the broader script used for monumental inscriptions and royal seals. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for the digital representation and study of this ancient writing system, aiding in the preservation and analysis of texts from civilizations such as the Hittite and Neo-Hittite kingdoms.
