Unicode Version 17.0
U+14631 "𔘱" Anatolian Hieroglyph A509 is a logographic symbol from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, which was used primarily in the late Bronze Age and Iron Age by the Luwian people in what is now modern-day Turkey and northern Syria. This specific glyph, cataloged as A509 in the standard sign list, represents the word for "army" or "troop" and is often depicted as a stylized human arm or hand holding a weapon, reflecting its martial connotation. Deciphered through analysis of monumental inscriptions on stone and lead, such as those from the city of Carchemish, the character belongs to a writing system that combined phonetic and semantic elements, serving both to spell words and to denote ideographic concepts. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures the preservation and digital accessibility of this ancient script, which was lost for centuries until its modern decipherment.
