U+10606 "𐘆" Linear A Sign Ab007 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐘆
U+10606 "𐘆" Linear A Sign Ab007 is part of the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as AB007 in the commonly used GORILA classification system, represents a syllabic character whose phonetic value remains unknown, as attempts to interpret Linear A have been hampered by the limited number of surviving inscriptions and the lack of a bilingual key like the Rosetta Stone. It was encoded in Unicode as part of the Linear A block to support scholarly research and digital preservation of this ancient script.
