Unicode Version 17.0
𐘠
U+10620 "𐘠" Linear A Sign Ab037 is a specific symbol from the Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily for administrative and religious purposes. This sign, cataloged as AB037 by scholars, belongs to the undeciphered syllabary of Linear A, meaning its phonetic value and precise meaning remain unknown, though it is often grouped with other signs used to record economic transactions or offerings in clay tablets. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitize this ancient writing system for researchers and linguists studying Minoan culture and language.
