U+10618 "𐘘" Linear A Sign Ab026 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10618 "𐘘" Linear A Sign Ab026 is a sign from the undeciphered Linear A script used in Minoan Crete from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE, representing one of many syllabic or ideographic symbols inscribed on clay tablets and other artifacts. This particular sign, cataloged as AB026 in the standard classification system developed by scholars like Arthur Evans and later refined by Emmett L. Bennett, may have been a logogram for a commodity or a syllabic value, though its precise phonetic or semantic meaning remains unknown due to the script's undeciphered status. It appears in administrative contexts, often alongside numerals and other signs, suggesting it played a role in recording economic transactions such as agricultural goods or manufactured items. The inclusion of Linear A signs in Unicode, including U+10618, supports ongoing research and digital preservation of this ancient writing system.
