U+1001C "𐀜" Linear B Syllable B052 No Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐀜
U+1001C "𐀜" Linear B Syllable B052 No is a graphical representation of a syllabic sign from the Linear B script, which was used by the Mycenaean Greek civilization in the second millennium BCE for administrative records on clay tablets. This specific character corresponds to the syllable often transliterated as "no" in modern scholarship, and it belongs to a set of over 200 syllabic signs that, along with logograms, were decoded in the mid-20th century by Michael Ventris and John Chadwick. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves this ancient symbol for digital use in historical, linguistic, and paleographic research, where it is typically displayed in assigned fonts that support the Linear B Unicode block.
