U+14626 "𔘦" Anatolian Hieroglyph A495 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+14626 "𔘦" Anatolian Hieroglyph A495 is a sign from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, a writing system used primarily in the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age to record the Luwian language in ancient Anatolia, modern-day Turkey. This specific glyph, catalogued as A495 in the standard classification, is interpreted as representing a phonetic syllable or a logographic concept, often associated with the sound or meaning related to a "foot" or "walking," though its precise usage varied across inscriptions. It belongs to a larger corpus of over 500 known symbols that were carved on stone monuments, seals, and lead strips, and it was deciphered in the early 20th century through the work of scholars like Ignace Gelb and later Peter Meriggi. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard's Anatolian Hieroglyphs block, which was added in version 8.0 to support digital representation of this historical script, enabling modern preservation and study of Luwian texts.
