U+10664 "𐙤" Linear A Sign A313B Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10664 "𐙤" Linear A Sign A313B is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script used in Minoan Crete, primarily during the Bronze Age from roughly 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as A313B in the standard inventory of Linear A symbols, is believed to represent a syllabic or ideographic value, though its exact phonetic or semantic meaning remains unknown due to the script's incomplete decipherment. It belongs to a corpus of over 1,400 known Linear A inscriptions found on clay tablets, vessels, and other artifacts, primarily from sites such as Knossos, Phaistos, and Hagia Triada. As part of a writing system that likely influenced the later Linear B script used for Mycenaean Greek, U+10664 contributes to ongoing scholarly efforts to understand the administrative and economic life of Minoan society, where such signs often accompanied numerical or commodity notations. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this ancient script.
