U+100CC "𐃌" Linear B Ideogram B240 Wheeled Chariot Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+100CC "𐃌" Linear B Ideogram B240 Wheeled Chariot is a symbolic representation from the ancient Linear B script used in Mycenaean Greece, specifically identifying a type of wheeled chariot or vehicle in administrative records. This ideogram appears on clay tablets dating to around 1450–1200 BCE, where it was employed by palace scribes to inventory military equipment, transport resources, or track chariot maintenance. The character belongs to the Linear B Ideograms block of Unicode, which encodes these pictographic signs to preserve the script's original logographic function, where symbols conveyed whole words or concepts rather than sounds. Its inclusion in modern digital standards allows scholars and historians to accurately reproduce and study these Bronze Age texts without relying solely on phonetic transcriptions.
