Unicode Version 17.0

ð”—†

U+145C6 "ð”—†" Anatolian Hieroglyph A402 is a part of the Anatolian Hieroglyphs block, which encodes the writing system used primarily for the Luwian language in Bronze Age and Iron Age Anatolia, modern day Turkey. This specific glyph, designated as A402 in the sign list, represents a syllabic sign with a phonetic value debated among scholars, though it is often associated with the sound "sa" or a related sibilant. It was typically inscribed on stone monuments, seals, and lead strips, functioning within a script that combined logographic and syllabic elements. The character is one of over 500 known hieroglyphs from this ancient script, which fell out of use around the 7th century BCE and was only deciphered in the early 20th century through comparative analysis with cuneiform texts.
