𐀕
U+10015 "𐀕" Linear B Syllable B013 Me is a syllabic sign from the Linear B script, an ancient writing system used primarily for recording Mycenaean Greek on clay tablets from around 1400 to 1200 BCE. This specific character represents the syllable "me" and is part of the Linear B syllabary, which consists of approximately 87 syllabic signs along with logograms for commodities. Deciphered by Michael Ventris in 1952, Linear B tablets primarily document administrative and economic records, such as inventories and transactions within Mycenaean palace centers like Knossos and Pylos. As a result, the "me" syllable appears in various words on these tablets, contributing to our understanding of early Greek language and Bronze Age society.
