U+100B6 "𐂶" Linear B Ideogram B174 is a script symbol from the ancient Linear B syllabary used primarily for administrative records in Mycenaean Greek civilization during the Late Bronze Age. This particular ideogram, catalogued as B174, represents the concept of a type of livestock or animal product, likely related to a domesticated animal such as a goat or sheep, though its precise meaning remains debated among scholars due to the fragmentary nature of surviving clay tablets.
