U+145BD "ð”–½" Anatolian Hieroglyph A393 Eight Unicode Character
U+145BD "ð”–½" Anatolian Hieroglyph A393 Eight is a symbol from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, a writing system used primarily in the ancient Luwian language during the Bronze and Iron Ages in Anatolia, modern day Turkey. This specific glyph represents the numeral eight, part of a larger set of logographic and syllabic signs that were inscribed on stone monuments and seals. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital representation and study of this historical script, which was deciphered in the 20th century and is closely tied to the Hittite Empire and its successor states. The character derives its name from the cataloging system established by scholars, where A393 indicates its position in the standard corpus of known Anatolian hieroglyphs.
