U+101E5 "𐇥" Phaistos Disc Sign Sling Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+101E5 "𐇥" Phaistos Disc Sign Sling is one of the 45 unique pictographic symbols stamped onto the mysterious Phaistos Disc, a fired clay artifact discovered in the Minoan palace of Phaistos on the island of Crete in 1908. This particular sign depicts a sling, a weapon used for hurling stones, and its inclusion among the disc's symbols suggests it may represent either a literal object, a phonetic syllable, or a conceptual idea within the undeciphered script. Because the disc's meaning and language remain unknown, the sign's precise interpretation is speculative, but it is commonly cataloged as number 20 in the standard numbering of Phaistos Disc symbols. As a part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane in Unicode, this character preserves the visual form of the ancient sign for digital use, aiding research and public interest in the enigmatic artifact.
