U+101DA "𐇚" Phaistos Disc Sign Bow is a pictographic symbol from the as yet undeciphered Phaistos Disc, a fired clay artifact discovered in 1908 on the island of Crete and dating to the Minoan Bronze Age. This specific sign, number 22 in the disc’s known catalogue, depicts a simple, stylized bow and is part of a sequence of 241 unique impressions stamped into the disc’s spiral using movable type. Its exact meaning remains unknown, but like the other signs on the artifact, it is believed to represent a syllable, a word, or a religious or administrative concept within the lost Minoan language, making it a subject of ongoing archaeological and cryptographic study.
