Unicode Version 17.0
𐃀
U+100C0 "𐃀" Linear B Ideogram B185 is a specific symbol from the Linear B script, a writing system used in Mycenaean Greece primarily for administrative records on clay tablets between about 1450 and 1200 BCE. This ideogram, catalogued as B185 in the standard corpus, represents a wheeled vehicle or chariot, often depicted with a cruciform or spoked wheel motif. It appears in inventories and economic texts as a logogram, standing for the item itself rather than a phonetic syllable, reflecting the practical accounting purpose of Linear B. The inclusion of this character in Unicode allows for its digital preservation and study, enabling modern scholars to accurately represent and analyze the ancient Mycenaean economy and material culture.
