U+100F9 "𐃹" Linear B Ideogram Vessel B250 is a script symbol from the ancient Linear B writing system used primarily for administrative records in Mycenaean Greek palaces during the Late Bronze Age, roughly between 1450 and 1200 BCE. This particular ideogram represents a specific type of vessel designated as "B250," likely a container for liquids or commodities such as wine, oil, or honey, often appearing on clay tablets with numeric tallies to document storage and trade.
