Unicode Version 17.0

𐘬

U+1062C "𐘬" Linear A Sign Ab051 is a specific symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from around 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as AB051 in the standard classification of Linear A syllabary signs, is believed to represent a phonetic syllable value based on comparisons with the related and deciphered Linear B script, though its exact pronunciation and meaning remain unknown due to the lack of a bilingual key for Linear A. The symbol was likely used in administrative and religious contexts, appearing on clay tablets, seals, and ritual objects, and its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and facilitate the digital study of this ancient and enigmatic writing system.
