U+101EB "𐇫" Phaistos Disc Sign Bulls Leg Unicode Character

U+101EB "𐇫" Phaistos Disc Sign Bulls Leg is a symbol originating from the enigmatic Phaistos Disc, a fired clay artifact discovered in 1908 on the island of Crete and dated to the Minoan Bronze Age. This sign depicts what is widely interpreted as a bull's leg, likely representing livestock, as many of the disc's 45 distinct pictographic symbols are believed to relate to daily life, trade, or religious practices in the Minoan civilization. While the disc's script remains undeciphered, the Bulls Leg character is part of Unicode's Phaistos Disc supplement block, allowing digital representation of the ancient symbol for academic, historical, and typographic purposes.
