Unicode Version 17.0
𐙙
U+10659 "𐙙" Linear A Sign A305 is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used on the island of Crete and other Aegean islands during the Minoan civilization from roughly 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign belongs to the catalog of approximately 1,400 individual characters identified from Linear A inscriptions, which were primarily used for administrative and religious record keeping on clay tablets and other objects. Although its phonetic value remains unknown due to the script's undeciphered status, scholars classify it among the signs that may have represented a syllabic sound or a logographic concept, contributing to ongoing efforts to understand the linguistic structure of the Minoan language.
