U+1029C "𐊜" Lycian Letter X Unicode Character

U+1029C "𐊜" Lycian Letter X is a character from the Lycian alphabet, which was used primarily between 500 and 300 BCE in the region of Lycia, in what is now southwestern Turkey. This letter represents the sound /x/, similar to the voiceless velar fricative found in words like the Scottish “loch.” The Lycian script is partially derived from the Greek alphabet but includes unique letters adapted to the Lycian language, which belongs to the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European family. Today, the Lycian Letter X is encoded in Unicode as part of the Lycian block, enabling its digital representation and study by linguists and historians interested in ancient Anatolian scripts.
