U+145AA "ð”–ª" Anatolian Hieroglyph A377 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð”–ª

U+145AA "ð”–ª" Anatolian Hieroglyph A377 is a sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, also known as Luwian hieroglyphs, which was used primarily in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the Bronze and Iron Ages, roughly between the 14th and 7th centuries BCE. This specific glyph, cataloged as A377 in the official sign list, represents a phonetic value or a logographic concept within the Luwian language, often associated with syllabic or ideographic functions such as depicting a vessel or a container. Its inclusion in Unicode, part of the Anatolian Hieroglyphs block (U+14400–U+1467F), allows for the digital preservation and scholarly study of this ancient writing system, which was deciphered in the 20th century through analysis of bilingual inscriptions like the Karatepe stele. The character is thus a small but crucial piece of the effort to represent extinct scripts accurately in modern computing environments, aiding historical linguistics and archaeology.
