U+14522 "𔔢" Anatolian Hieroglyph A256 is a writing sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, used primarily in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages (approximately 14th to 7th centuries BCE) to write the Luwian language in what is now modern Turkey and northern Syria. This specific glyph, cataloged as A256 in the sign list, is generally interpreted as representing a stylized human leg or foot and carries the phonetic value "ta" or "ta4" in the syllabic system of Luwian inscriptions. It forms part of a larger corpus of over 500 known hieroglyphs that combine logographic and syllabic elements, often found carved on stone monuments, seals, and lead strips. The inclusion of this character in Unicode preserves a tangible link to the linguistic heritage of the ancient Anatolian civilizations.
