Unicode Version 17.0

𐃩

U+100E9 "𐃩" Linear B Ideogram Vessel B210 is a specific script symbol from the Linear B syllabary and ideographic system, an ancient writing system used primarily for administrative records in Mycenaean Greek civilization before the Greek Dark Ages. This particular ideogram represents a type of vessel, likely a container or pottery form, and is cataloged under the broader category of "Vessel" signs within the Linear B corpus, where ideograms denoted commodities, objects, or measures rather than sounds. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and digital humanities projects can accurately encode, publish, and search ancient texts from sites such as Knossos and Pylos, preserving the nuanced inventory lists that document Mycenaean economic life.
