U+1028C "𐊌" Lycian Letter Q Unicode Character

U+1028C "𐊌" Lycian Letter Q is a glyph representing a consonant sound from the Lycian alphabet, an ancient script used in Lycia (modern-day southwestern Turkey) between the 4th and 2nd centuries BCE. This character corresponds to the letter believed to denote a velar or uvular /q/ sound, similar to the "q" in English but with a possible guttural articulation. It is part of the Lycian block within the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, encoded to preserve and digitally represent the epigraphic records of this now extinct Anatolian language. The Lycian script itself is derived from a variant of the Greek alphabet but includes distinct characters like this one, reflecting the phonetic nuances of the Lycian tongue.
