U+100A7 "𐂧" Linear B Ideogram B159 Cloth is a historical script symbol originating from the Linear B writing system used by Mycenaean Greece during the late Bronze Age, roughly between 1450 and 1200 BCE. This ideogram appears primarily on clay tablets excavated from sites such as Knossos and Pylos, where it was employed in administrative records to denote a specific type of cloth or textile, likely for tracking production, inventory, or distribution within the palace economy. Its inclusion in Unicode allows scholars and enthusiasts to digitally preserve and analyze this ancient symbol, bridging the gap between archaeological research and modern computing.
