Unicode Version 17.0
𐂔
U+10094 "𐂔" Linear B Monogram B128 Kanako is a glyph from the Linear B script, which was used in ancient Greece for administrative writing on clay tablets, primarily from the Mycenaean period around 1450 to 1200 BCE. This specific monogram, identified as B128 and named "Kanako," is thought to represent a syllabic combination conveying the sound "ka" followed by "na" and "ko," and it is often associated with the word for safflower, a plant used to produce dye and oil. The character is part of the Unicode Linear B Monograms block, which encodes these composite signs that were used to write Mycenaean Greek, offering a window into the economic and agricultural records of that early civilization.
