Unicode Version 17.0
𐂳
U+100B3 "𐂳" Linear B Ideogram B171 is a script symbol from the Linear B syllabary used in ancient Mycenaean Greece, primarily for administrative and economic records on clay tablets. This particular ideogram, classified as B171 in Michael Ventris and John Chadwick’s decoding system, is believed to represent a specific type of agricultural commodity or a measure related to livestock, though its exact meaning remains a subject of scholarly interpretation due to the fragmentary nature of the surviving corpus. It forms part of the Linear B Ideograms block in Unicode, which encodes over 120 pictographic signs that denote goods, materials, and quantities essential for understanding Bronze Age palace economies.
