Unicode Version 17.0

𐘴

U+10634 "𐘴" Linear A Sign Ab060 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, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as AB060 in the standard classification system shared between Linear A and the related, deciphered Linear B script, represents a syllabic value whose phonetic reading remains unknown due to the inability to conclusively translate the Minoan language it encodes. The character's inclusion in the Unicode standard, within the Linear A block, allows for its digital representation and study by scholars and enthusiasts, preserving a fragment of a lost language and aiding ongoing research into the administrative, economic, and religious texts that have survived on clay tablets and other artifacts.
