Unicode Version 17.0
𐚆
U+10686 "𐚆" Linear A Sign A346 is part of the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from around 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A346 by scholars, represents one of the many syllabic or ideographic symbols found on clay tablets and other artifacts, though its precise phonetic value or meaning remains unknown due to the lack of a bilingual Rosetta Stone equivalent for Linear A. The character is included in Unicode’s Linear A block, which encodes hundreds of these mysterious signs to support academic research, digital preservation, and study of this ancient language.
