U+102A9 "𐊩" Carian Letter B Unicode Character

U+102A9 "𐊩" Carian Letter B is a symbol from the Carian alphabet, an ancient script used primarily in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) from roughly the 7th to the 4th centuries BCE to write the Carian language, which belongs to the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European family. This particular character represents the sound /b/ and belongs to the Carian block of Unicode, encoded under Supplementary Multilingual Plane. While many Carian letters have uncertain or debated phonetic values, "𐊩" is one of the more securely identified signs, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent a writing system that was largely indecipherable until the late 20th century, when bilingual inscriptions allowed for substantial progress in its understanding.
