Unicode Version 17.0
𐀮
U+1002E "𐀮" Linear B Syllable B009 Se is a script character from the Linear B syllabary, an ancient writing system used in Mycenaean Greece primarily for administrative and economic records from roughly 1450 to 1200 BCE. Designated as syllable B009, this character represents the phonetic value "se" and is part of a syllabary that encodes both vowels and consonant-vowel combinations, typically inscribed on clay tablets with a stylus. Linear B was deciphered in the 1950s by Michael Ventris and John Chadwick, revealing it to be an early form of Greek, and while this specific syllable appears in various Mycenaean inventories and ledger texts, its exact usage can vary across the surviving corpus of tablets.
