U+10680 "𐚀" Linear A Sign A340 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10680 "𐚀" Linear A Sign A340 is a symbol from the undeciphered script known as Linear A, which was 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 A340 in the standard numerical classification of Linear A, is one of many hieroglyphic or syllabic characters found on clay tablets, seals, and other artifacts, though its exact phonetic value or meaning remains unknown because the language underlying Linear A has not been conclusively translated. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard allows for its digital representation and preservation, enabling scholars and linguists to study and share the script across modern computing platforms without the need for specialized fonts.
