𐘒

U+10612 "𐘒" Linear A Sign Ab022 is a written symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between approximately 1800 and 1450 BCE. This particular sign is classified as a syllabogram, meaning it likely represented a single syllable, though its precise phonetic value remains unknown since Linear A has not yet been fully deciphered. The character is often grouped with similar signs in scholarly inventories, such as the "AB" designation indicates its presence in both Linear A and the related Linear B script which was later used for Mycenaean Greek. As part of the Unicode Standard, this sign is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, allowing it to be digitally represented and studied alongside other ancient scripts, aiding researchers in comparative analysis and digital preservation of these early writing systems.
