U+10658 "𐙘" Linear A Sign A304 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10658 "𐙘" Linear A Sign A304 is a glyph belonging to the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, catalogued as A304 in the standard corpus of Linear A characters, represents one of the many syllabic or ideographic symbols found on clay tablets and other artifacts discovered at archaeological sites such as Knossos and Phaistos. Because Linear A remains largely unreadable, the exact phonetic value or meaning of U+10658 is unknown, though it likely conveyed a syllable or a logographic concept related to administrative or economic record keeping. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for digital representation and study of these ancient symbols, aiding epigraphers and historians in their ongoing efforts to analyze and potentially decipher the Minoan language.
