U+1063E "𐘾" Linear A Sign Ab077 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐘾

U+1063E "𐘾" Linear A Sign Ab077 is a specific glyph from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This sign, cataloged as AB077 by scholars, represents one of the many syllabic or ideographic symbols found on clay tablets and other artifacts from sites like Knossos and Phaistos, and it belongs to a writing system that remains largely unreadable today. The character is part of the Unicode Standard's Linear A block, encoded to preserve and facilitate digital study of this ancient script, though its exact phonetic or semantic value is unknown due to the lack of a known bilingual text or direct decipherable connection to later scripts like Linear B.
