U+1028B "π" Lycian Letter K is a letter from the Lycian alphabet, an ancient script used in Lycia, a region in southwestern Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), from approximately 500 to 300 BCE. This specific character represents the sound /k/ and is part of the Lycian block in Unicode, which was encoded to support scholarly work and digital preservation of the language. The Lycian script itself is derived from the Greek alphabet, with some unique modifications, and inscriptions containing this letter appear on stone monuments and tombs, providing key evidence for the study of the extinct Lycian language within the Anatolian branch of the IndoβEuropean family.
