Unicode Version 17.0

𐙃

U+10643 "𐙃" Linear A Sign Ab082 is a symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from around 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as AB082 in standard epigraphic classification, is one of many syllabic or logographic characters found on clay tablets and other artifacts, where it likely represented a specific sound or meaning within the Minoan language. Despite extensive research, Linear A remains largely untranslated, so the exact phonetic value or concept associated with "𐙃" is unknown. The character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 7.0, released in 2014, to facilitate digital preservation and academic study of ancient scripts, allowing scholars and enthusiasts to represent this historical symbol in modern text.
