U+10051 "𐁑" Linear B Symbol B019 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐁑
U+10051 "𐁑" Linear B Symbol B019 is a paleographic sign from the Linear B script, an ancient writing system used primarily for administrative records in Mycenaean Greek palaces during the Late Bronze Age, roughly from 1450 to 1200 BCE. This specific symbol, cataloged as B019 in the standard classification of Linear B signs, is believed to represent a syllabic value or logographic ideogram for a commodity, though its exact phonetic or semantic meaning remains uncertain due to the incomplete decipherment of all Linear B characters. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that this fragment of early European literacy can be digitally preserved and studied by linguists, archaeologists, and historians.
