U+102BA "𐊺" Carian Letter E Unicode Character

U+102BA "𐊺" Carian Letter E is a glyph from the Carian script, an ancient alphabet used primarily in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the first millennium BCE to write the Carian language, which remains only partially deciphered. This particular character represents the sound of the letter "e" in the Carian alphabet, which consists of around 30 distinct signs derived from a combination of local Anatolian influences and the Greek alphabet. The Carian script was inscribed on stone monuments and coins, with many surviving examples found in the region of Caria, and it was added to the Unicode Standard in version 5.1, released in 2008, as part of the Carian block to support digital representation of this historical writing system.
