U+102AE "𐊮" Carian Letter Sh is a script character from the Carian alphabet, an ancient writing system developed in the region of Caria in western Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the first millennium BCE. This particular letter represents the sound "š," similar to the English "sh," and forms part of the syllabic-like script used to write the Carian language, which remains only partially deciphered. Inscribed on stone monuments, coins, and pottery, the character is encoded in the Unicode Standard within the Carian block, allowing for its digital representation and study in modern typography and linguistics.
