U+10635 "𐘵" Linear A Sign Ab061 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐘵

U+10635 "𐘵" Linear A Sign Ab061 is a symbol from the undeciphered script known as Linear A, 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, cataloged as AB061 by scholars, represents one of the many syllabic or ideographic characters found on clay tablets and other artifacts unearthed at sites like Knossos and Phaistos. Since Linear A has not yet been fully deciphered, the exact phonetic value or meaning of Ab061 remains unknown, though it is often classified within the broader signary that shares some visual similarities with the later Linear B script, which was used for writing Mycenaean Greek. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard helps preserve and facilitate digital research into this ancient writing system.
