Unicode Version 17.0

𐇒

U+101D2 "𐇒" Phaistos Disc Sign Tattooed Head is a symbol found on the enigmatic Phaistos Disc, a fired clay disk discovered in 1908 on the island of Crete within the Minoan palace of Phaistos. This specific sign depicts a stylized human head marked with what appears to be tattooed or painted lines, and it is one of 45 distinct pictographic signs impressed onto the disc using movable type. The disc, dating to the Minoan Bronze Age around 1700 to 1600 BCE, has never been definitively deciphered, but scholars suggest these signs may represent a form of writing or a religious and administrative system. The Tattooed Head sign is part of the Unicode standard under the Phaistos Disc block, encoded for digital representation of this mysterious artifact, which continues to intrigue historians and linguists for its unique and undeciphered script.
