𐃭
U+100ED "𐃭" Linear B Ideogram Vessel B214 is a standardized sign representing a type of container or vessel as used in the Linear B script of Mycenaean Greek civilization, dated roughly to the 15th–13th centuries BCE. This ideogram appears primarily on administrative clay tablets from sites like Knossos and Pylos, where it was used to record inventories of pottery or storage items, likely corresponding to specific ceramic shapes or sizes in palatial economies. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent this ancient script, enabling scholars to study Bronze Age trade, resource management, and writing systems with modern technology.
