U+14516 "ð””–" Anatolian Hieroglyph A244 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+14516 "ð””–" Anatolian Hieroglyph A244 is a logogram from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, which was used primarily in the Bronze and Iron Ages to write the Luwian language in what is now modern Turkey and northern Syria. This particular glyph, catalogued as A244 in the standard sign list, depicts a stylized animal or symbolic motif, and it functioned as a phonetic or semantic element within the script’s complex writing system. Adding it to Unicode in 2015 as part of the Anatolian Hieroglyphs block was a significant step for scholars and digital archivists, enabling the accurate digital representation and preservation of inscriptions found on stone monuments and seals from ancient civilizations like the Hittites. Its inclusion allows for more precise research, cross-referencing, and public access to the study of this ancient writing system without the need for specialized fonts or nonstandard characters.
