U+14556 "𔕖" Anatolian Hieroglyph A304 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𔕖

U+14556 "𔕖" Anatolian Hieroglyph A304 is a pictographic symbol from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, which was used primarily in the Bronze Age and Iron Age to write the Luwian language in what is now modern Turkey and northern Syria. This specific glyph, cataloged as A304 in the standard sign list, most likely represents a phonetic sound or a syllabic value rather than a direct pictogram of an object, as the script functioned as a mixed logographic and syllabic system. Its inclusion in Unicode allows scholars to digitally encode and study these ancient inscriptions, which are often found on stone monuments and seals, thereby preserving and facilitating research into the history and linguistics of the Hittite and Neo-Hittite civilizations.
