Unicode Version 17.0

𔕜

U+1455C "𔕜" Anatolian Hieroglyph A309A is a 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 parts of Syria. This specific glyph, classified under the "A" series of the Anatolian Hieroglyphs block, represents a phonetic syllable or logographic element, though its exact reading often depends on its archaeological context. The script, distinct from Egyptian hieroglyphs, was typically carved on stone monuments, seals, and lead strips, and it was deciphered in the 20th century through comparative studies with cuneiform texts. As part of the Unicode Standard, this character helps preserve and digitally represent an ancient writing system that provides crucial insights into the history, culture, and language of the Hittite and Neo-Hittite states.
