U+1009C "𐂜" Linear B Ideogram B142 is a specific symbol from the Linear B script, an ancient syllabic writing system used primarily for administrative records in Mycenaean Greek civilization during the Late Bronze Age, roughly between 1450 and 1200 BCE. This ideogram, catalogued as B142, represents a commodity or item within the Mycenaean palatial economy, likely associated with a type of animal, product, or resource, though its exact meaning remains debated among scholars due to the fragmentary nature of surviving clay tablets.
