U+1068A "𐚊" Linear A Sign A350 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐚊

U+1068A "𐚊" Linear A Sign A350 is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script used by the Minoan civilization on Crete roughly between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A350 in the standard corpus known as GORILA, represents one of the many logographic or syllabic characters that appear on clay tablets, sealings, and other administrative artifacts primarily found in palatial sites like Knossos and Hagia Triada. Despite extensive study, the exact phonetic value or meaning of A350 remains unknown, as the Minoan language itself has not been conclusively deciphered, and it likely served a function within the economic record keeping of the Bronze Age Aegean, such as denoting a commodity, a unit of measure, or a personal name.
