Unicode Version 17.0

ð””©

U+14529 "ð””©" Anatolian Hieroglyph A263 is a sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script that was historically used by the Luwian people in Anatolia and parts of northern Syria during the Bronze and Iron Ages, primarily for monumental inscriptions on stone and seals. This specific glyph, cataloged as A263 in the standard corpus, represents a pictographic symbol that scholars generally interpret as depicting a bird, likely a duck or waterfowl, based on its distinctive curved neck and body profile. In the Luwian writing system, which functioned as a logographic and syllabic script, this character could serve as a logogram for the word meaning "bird" or contribute phonetically to the spelling of other words. The character was officially added to the Unicode Standard with the release of version 8.0 in June 2015, as part of the Anatolian Hieroglyphs block, ensuring its preservation and digital representation for linguistic and historical research.
