Unicode Version 17.0

𔘔

U+14614 "𔘔" Anatolian Hieroglyph A477 is a symbol from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, a writing system used primarily in the Late Bronze Age and early Iron Age for the Luwian language in Anatolia and parts of modern Syria. This particular glyph, cataloged as A477, represents a specific ideographic or syllabic value within that script, though its exact phonetic or semantic meaning is often debated among scholars due to the limited corpus of texts. As part of the Unicode Standard, it was included in the Anatolian Hieroglyphs block (U+14400 to U+1467F) to enable digital preservation and study of this ancient writing system, which was deciphered largely in the 20th century through the efforts of figures like Emmanuel Laroche. The symbol itself typically appears in inscriptions on stone monuments and seals, contributing to our understanding of the political, religious, and economic life of the Hittite and post-Hittite states.
