U+10058 "𐁘" Linear B Symbol B064 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐁘

U+10058 "𐁘" Linear B Symbol B064 is a graphic mark from the Linear B script, an ancient writing system used primarily for administrative records in Mycenaean Greek civilization, predominantly dated to the Late Bronze Age (1450–1200 BCE). This specific symbol corresponds to the syllabic sign for the sound "se" or a similar phonetic value, though its exact linguistic interpretation can vary among scholars due to the fragmentary nature of the surviving clay tablets. It is encoded in the Linear B Syllabary block of Unicode, allowing modern digital representation and study of these historical inscriptions. The symbol plays a key role in deciphering economic inventories, religious offerings, and palace management records from sites like Knossos and Pylos, offering a direct glimpse into the bureaucratic structure of the Mycenaean world.
