Unicode Version 17.0

𐇑

U+101D1 "𐇑" Phaistos Disc Sign Plumed Head is a symbol from the undeciphered Phaistos Disc, a Minoan clay artifact discovered in 1908 on the island of Crete and dated to the second millennium BCE. This sign depicts a stylized human or divine head adorned with a plume or crown of feathers, and it is one of 45 distinct pictographic stamps pressed into the disc using a revolving seal. Because the Phaistos Disc’s script has never been successfully deciphered, the exact meaning or phonetic value of the plumed head sign remains unknown, though scholars speculate it may represent a ruler, a deity, or a ceremonial title.
