U+14646 "𔙆" Anatolian Hieroglyph A530 is a logographic symbol from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script used primarily by the Hittites and other Luwian-speaking peoples in ancient Anatolia, dating from roughly the 14th to 7th centuries BCE. This particular sign, classified under the A530 corpus as part of the extended hieroglyphic set, typically represents a semantic or phonetic value, often associated with the concept of a "bird" or an avian symbol in monumental inscriptions on stone monuments and seals. It belongs to the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of Unicode, specifically within the block dedicated to Anatolian Hieroglyphs, which was added to the standard to aid digital preservation and scholarly study of this otherwise undeciphered script. Though less common than other hieroglyphs, A530 contributes to reconstructing the socio-religious and administrative texts of the Bronze and Iron Age Near East, offering insight into the linguistic heritage of the Hittite Empire.
