U+1004D "𐁍" Linear B Syllable B091 Two Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1004D "𐁍" Linear B Syllable B091 Two is a glyph representing the specific Linear B syllabogram that corresponded to the numeric value "two" in the Mycenaean Greek writing system, which was used primarily for administrative and economic records on clay tablets in the Late Bronze Age, around 1450 to 1200 BCE. This character signifies that the ancient script employed a combination of syllabic and ideographic symbols, where B091 was one of several syllabic signs that also served as a numeral, helping scribes efficiently record quantities of goods, people, or resources in the palace economies of Mycenaean Greece, such as at Knossos and Pylos. Its encoding in Unicode preserves a direct link to this early European literacy, enabling modern scholars and enthusiasts to display and study this precise historical symbol in digital texts alongside other Linear B characters.
