U+1061E "𐘞" Linear A Sign Ab031 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐘞

U+1061E "𐘞" Linear A Sign Ab031 is a specific symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, catalogued as AB031 in the standard classification system, is part of a syllabic writing system that remains largely unreadable today, though researchers have identified that many Linear A signs share visual similarities with the later Linear B script used for Mycenaean Greek. The symbol itself is distinct in form and is one of over a hundred known signs that appear on clay tablets, seals, and other artifacts, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the administrative and possibly religious language of the Minoans without revealing its full meanings or sounds.
