U+1060E "𐘎" Linear A Sign Ab020 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1060E "𐘎" Linear A Sign Ab020 is a symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete and other Aegean islands during the Bronze Age, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign is cataloged as AB020 in the standard classification scheme, which groups linear signs with similar phonetic or ideographic values, though its exact meaning and sound remain unknown due to the script's lack of a bilingual Rosetta Stone. The character is part of the Unicode Linear A block, added to enable digital representation and study of this ancient script for researchers and enthusiasts, preserving a tangible link to a lost language that predates the later and deciphered Linear B script of Mycenaean Greek.
