U+100C1 "𐃁" Linear B Ideogram B189 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+100C1 "𐃁" Linear B Ideogram B189 is a script symbol from the Linear B syllabary, an ancient writing system used in Mycenaean Greece primarily for administrative and economic records on clay tablets. This particular ideogram, cataloged as B189, is thought to represent a type of vessel, likely a cup or a jar, based on its classification among Linear B logograms for pottery and containers. It belongs to the Linear B Ideograms block within Unicode, which encodes the pictographic signs that Mycenaean scribes employed to denote specific commodities, objects, or quantities in their archival texts. The character provides modern scholars with a direct visual link to the material culture of the Late Bronze Age, helping to decode the economic and trade practices of that early civilization.
