U+10687 "𐚇" Linear A Sign A347 is a specific glyph from the undeciphered script Linear A, which was used in Minoan Crete and other Aegean islands during the Bronze Age, primarily from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This character is cataloged as sign A347 in the standard notation for Linear A, and it has been assigned the value "MI" in some scholarly transliterations, though its phonetic or semantic meaning remains unknown because the underlying language of Linear A has not been reliably interpreted.
