𔕐

U+14550 "𔕐" Anatolian Hieroglyph A299 is a sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, a logographic and syllabic writing system used primarily in the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age by the Luwian people in Anatolia and northern Syria. This particular glyph, catalogued as A299 in the standard sign list, likely represents a pictorial depiction of a human or deity's head in profile, often interpreted phonetically as the syllable "*sar" or "*sara" within the Anatolian hieroglyphic inventory. It appears in monumental stone inscriptions on palaces, gates, and rock faces, where it was carved to record royal annals, religious dedications, and historical events in the Luwian language. As part of the Unicode Standard's coverage of ancient scripts, U+14550 enables digital preservation and scholarly study of this once-lost writing system.
