Unicode Version 17.0

𔕎

U+1454E "𔕎" Anatolian Hieroglyph A297 is a sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script used by the Luwian and Hittite civilizations in the second and first millennia BCE. This specific glyph, catalogued as A297 in the standard classification system, represents a phonetic value typically associated with the sound "la" or "la/i/u" in the Luwian language, often functioning as a syllabic sign in monumental inscriptions on stone monuments and seals. While its precise meaning can vary with context, it was part of a complex writing system that combined logographic and phonetic elements, primarily used for recording the Luwian language in regions of modern-day Turkey and Syria. As a digital representation of this ancient symbol, U+1454E helps preserve and make accessible a fragment of the script deciphered over the past century through comparative analysis with other ancient Near Eastern languages.
