U+10681 "𐚁" Linear A Sign A341 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐚁

U+10681 "𐚁" Linear A Sign A341 is a specific glyph from the undeciphered Linear A script used by the Minoan civilization of Bronze Age Crete, primarily for administrative and religious inscriptions between approximately 1800 and 1450 BCE. Cataloged as sign A341 by archaeologists, this character belongs to a syllabary that likely represented syllables or logograms, but unlike its later descendant Linear B, its phonetic values and meanings remain unknown because no bilingual Rosetta Stone equivalent has been discovered for Linear A. As part of the Unicode Standard, its inclusion allows for digital preservation, scholarly transcription, and typographic representation of this ancient script, aiding ongoing efforts to analyze the more than 1,400 known Linear A inscriptions.
