Unicode Version 17.0
𐙄
U+10644 "𐙄" Linear A Sign Ab085 is a 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 around 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, catalogued as AB085 in the standard classification system, represents one of the syllabic or ideographic symbols found on clay tablets and other artifacts inscribed with Linear A, a writing system that remains largely unreadable today. The inclusion of this character in Unicode helps preserve and digitize the record of this ancient script, supporting scholars and linguists in their ongoing efforts to study and potentially decipher the Minoan language and culture.
