Lycian Unicode Characters page 1

The Lycian block contains characters used in the Lycian script, which was used to write the Lycian language in southwestern Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the 1st millennium BCE. The script is an alphabetic system with some similarities to Greek, reflecting the cultural interactions between the Lycian and Greek civilizations. The block includes letters needed to write Lycian inscriptions, which are mostly found on stone monuments and coins. The Lycian script provides important historical and linguistic insights into the ancient Anatolian region and its people..
