U+10082 "𐂂" Linear B Ideogram B104 Deer is a script symbol from the ancient Linear B writing system used in Mycenaean Greece, primarily for administrative and economic inscriptions on clay tablets. This specific ideogram represents a deer, likely used as a pictographic shorthand to denote the animal in inventories or trade records, such as for counting livestock or noting resources like meat and hides.
