Unicode Version 17.0

𐙸

U+10678 "𐙸" Linear A Sign A332 is a glyph from the undeciphered script Linear A, used in Minoan Crete and other Aegean islands during the Bronze Age, primarily from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. Encoded in Unicode’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane, this sign is cataloged as A332 in the standard inventory of Linear A symbols, though its phonetic value remains unknown due to the script’s continued indecipherability. The character represents one of many syllabic or ideographic marks found on clay tablets, seals, and other artifacts, likely used for administrative or religious record keeping in the Minoan language. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and digital typographers can accurately reproduce and study ancient inscriptions within modern text environments, preserving a link to one of history’s most enigmatic writing systems.
