Unicode Version 17.0
U+101F0 "𐇰" Phaistos Disc Sign Tunny is a symbol originally imprinted on the enigmatic Minoan artifact known as the Phaistos Disc, which was discovered in Crete in 1908 and dates to the second millennium BCE. This particular sign, known as the "tunny" after the Greek word for tuna, depicts a fish and is one of 45 distinct pictographic symbols stamped into the disc's clay surface using movable type. While the exact meaning of the Phaistos Disc remains undeciphered, scholars generally believe the signs represent a form of writing, possibly conveying a religious or administrative text, with the tunny likely symbolizing a fish or a related concept. As a result, this character is of significant interest to linguists, historians, and cryptographers studying ancient scripts and the development of written language in the Aegean world.
