Carian Unicode Characters page 1

The Carian block includes characters used in the Carian script, which was used to write the Carian language in southwestern Anatolia during the 1st millennium BCE. The script is an alphabetic system, with many characters resembling those of the Greek alphabet, although their values were different. The block includes all the characters needed to read Carian inscriptions, which are found on tombs, monuments, and other artifacts. The Carian people were known for their mercenary services in ancient armies, and their script provides insights into their interactions with other ancient cultures, especially the Greeks and Egyptians..
