U+10636 "𐘶" Linear A Sign Ab065 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐘶
U+10636 "𐘶" Linear A Sign Ab065 is one of the many syllabic or ideographic signs from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on Crete primarily from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as AB065 in the standard classification system, represents a phonetic value that remains unknown due to the inability to fully translate Linear A, though it is believed to have been used in administrative and religious inscriptions on clay tablets and seals. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital representation and study of this ancient writing system, preserving a tangible link to a Bronze Age culture that preceded the Mycenaean Greek Linear B script.
