Unicode Version 17.0

𐙡

U+10661 "𐙡" Linear A Sign A311 is part of the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from around 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A311 in the standard corpus of Linear A symbols, likely represents a syllabic value or a logogram, though its exact phonetic or semantic meaning remains unknown due to the lack of a bilingual Rosetta Stone equivalent. The character is included in the Unicode Standard within the Linear A block (U+10600–U+1077F) to support digital representation and scholarly study of this ancient script, aiding archaeologists and linguists in comparing it with related systems like Linear B, which was later used to write Mycenaean Greek.
