Unicode Version 17.0
𐘧
U+10627 "𐘧" Linear A Sign Ab046 is a symbol from the Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from around 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as AB046 by scholars, represents a phonetic or syllabic value that remains undeciphered, as Linear A has not yet been fully translated. The character is one of many in the script that appear on clay tablets, seals, and other administrative artifacts, often associated with accounting and record keeping in Minoan palaces and settlements. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital representation and study of this ancient script, aiding ongoing research into the language and culture of a pre Greek society.
