U+1060B "𐘋" Linear A Sign Ab013 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1060B "𐘋" Linear A Sign Ab013 is a script character from the Linear A writing system used in Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between approximately 1800 and 1450 BCE. Known by its designation AB013 in modern scholarly classification, this sign represents a syllabic value that remains undeciphered, as Linear A has not been fully translated and is thought to record an unknown or Minoan language unrelated to any known language family. The character is part of a corpus of over 1,400 known Linear A inscriptions found on clay tablets, seal stones, and other artifacts, often associated with administrative and economic records in palatial centers like Knossos and Phaistos. Despite ongoing research, the precise phonetic and semantic meaning of AB013, like many Linear A signs, continues to elude linguists and archaeologists, preserving the mystery of Minoan culture.
