Unicode Version 17.0
𐁋
U+1004B "𐁋" Linear B Syllable B066 Ta2 is part of the Linear B script, a syllabic writing system used in Mycenaean Greece between roughly 1450 and 1200 BCE for recording the early Greek language on clay tablets. This specific character represents the syllable "ta2", which is a variant of the more common syllable "ta" and is believed to denote a different phonetic nuance or a scribal tradition within the administrative records of palaces like Knossos and Pylos. Deciphered by Michael Ventris in 1952, Linear B encodes inventories of goods, land holdings, and religious offerings, with U+1004B serving as a trace of the complex economic and linguistic structures of the Bronze Age Aegean.
