Unicode Version 17.0

𔕫

U+1456B "𔕫" Anatolian Hieroglyph A324 is a logogram from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script used primarily in the Bronze and Iron Ages by the Luwian language and related cultures in ancient Anatolia, modern day Turkey. This specific glyph represents the concept of a "libation vessel" or a related liquid offering container, often depicted as a tall, narrow jar with a spout or handle, and it frequently appears in monumental inscriptions and seal carvings related to ritual pouring ceremonies dedicated to deities. The character was encoded in Unicode’s Anatolian Hieroglyphs block in 2015 as part of an effort to digitally preserve this ancient writing system, which was deciphered in the early 20th century and remains a key source for understanding Hittite period religious and administrative practices.
