U+1009B "𐂛" Linear B Ideogram B141 Gold Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1009B "𐂛" Linear B Ideogram B141 Gold is a symbol from the ancient Linear B script, which was used for writing Mycenaean Greek on clay tablets primarily from the Late Bronze Age (circa 1450–1200 BCE) in Crete and mainland Greece. This particular ideogram represents the commodity "gold," as indicated by its classification as B141 in the standard ideographic inventory of the script. In Linear B texts, such ideograms were employed in administrative and economic records to denote quantities of materials, goods, or tribute, often appearing alongside syllabic signs and numerical notations on tablets that documented palace inventories and trade. The character itself is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of the Unicode Standard, specifically in the Linear B Ideograms block, preserving this ancient accounting symbol for digital use and historical study.
