Unicode Version 17.0

𐘜

U+1061C "𐘜" Linear A Sign Ab029 is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script used by the Minoan civilization of Bronze Age Crete, primarily on clay tablets and administrative artifacts. This specific sign, cataloged as AB029 by scholars, represents a syllabic or logographic value that remains unknown due to the lack of a bilingual Rosetta Stone equivalent for Linear A. It is rendered as a distinctive linear shape resembling an abstracted human or animal form, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this ancient writing system.
