Unicode Version 17.0
U+100EC "𐃬" Linear B Ideogram Vessel B213 is a script symbol from the Linear B syllabary, an ancient writing system used in Mycenaean Greece primarily for administrative and economic records. This specific ideogram represents a type of vessel, likely a container for liquids or goods, as indicated by its classification under the B200 series of Linear B ideograms for pottery and containers. Dating to the Late Bronze Age, around 1450 to 1200 BCE, it appears on clay tablets from sites like Knossos and Pylos, where scribes used such symbols to catalogue inventories of storage items, often alongside numeric counts. Its inclusion in Unicode allows scholars and linguists to digitally preserve and study these early forms of written communication, offering insights into Mycenaean trade, storage practices, and daily life.
