Unicode Version 17.0

𔘂

U+14602 "𔘂" Anatolian Hieroglyph A459 is a logographic sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, which was used to write the Luwian language in Anatolia during the Late Bronze Age and early Iron Age, roughly between the 14th and 7th centuries BCE. This particular glyph, cataloged as A459 in the standard sign list, depicts a stylized representation of a footprint or a walking leg, and it typically functions as a phonetic complement or a determinative within inscriptions, often associated with the verb "to go" or concepts of movement and direction. Carved into stone monuments, seals, and lead strips, these hieroglyphs offer critical insights into the political, religious, and daily life of the Hittite and Neo-Hittite states. As part of the Unicode Standard, this character enables digital preservation and scholarly analysis of a writing system that was deciphered only in the 20th century, bridging ancient epigraphy with modern computational linguistics.
