U+1013D "𐄽" Aegean Liquid Measure First Subunit Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1013D "𐄽" Aegean Liquid Measure First Subunit is a symbol from the ancient Aegean scripts used in Linear A and Linear B writing systems to denote a specific subunit of liquid volume measurement. This character represents the smallest known division within the Mycenaean Greek or Minoan metrological system for liquids, where it likely corresponded to a precise quantity such as one sixteenth of a larger unit like the "liquide" or "kyathos." Found primarily in inscriptions on clay tablets from Bronze Age sites like Knossos and Pylos, this glyph provides modern scholars with crucial insight into the standardized economic administration and trade practices of the Aegean civilizations. Its inclusion in Unicode enables digital representation and study of these ancient measurement systems, preserving a small but significant piece of early quantitative record keeping.
