U+1001F "𐀟" Linear B Syllable B072 Pe is a graphic symbol from the ancient Linear B script, which was used for writing Mycenaean Greek, the earliest attested form of the Greek language, primarily on clay tablets dating from the 15th to the 12th centuries BCE. This specific syllabogram represents the phonetic value "pe," as reconstructed by linguists, and it appears in administrative records detailing economic transactions, such as inventories of goods or land management, found at sites like Knossos and Pylos.
