U+101D4 "𐇔" Phaistos Disc Sign Child Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐇔

U+101D4 "𐇔" Phaistos Disc Sign Child is one of the 45 unique symbols stamped into the mysterious Phaistos Disc, a fired clay artifact discovered in 1908 on the Greek island of Crete and dating to the Minoan civilization of the second millennium BCE. This particular sign depicts a small human figure, often interpreted as a child or infant, based on its size relative to other human figures on the disc and its posture. The disc itself remains undeciphered, with its purpose still unknown, so the "Child" sign's meaning is speculative though it might represent a specific person, a deity, or a phonetic syllable within an unknown writing system. As part of the Phaistos Disc characters block in Unicode, this symbol preserves a tangible link to one of archaeology's most enduring puzzles, allowing it to be digitally represented and studied in modern contexts.
