Unicode Version 17.0
𐚎
U+1068E "𐚎" Linear A Sign A354 is a character belonging to the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A354 in the standard sign list, represents one of the many syllabic or ideographic symbols found in inscriptions on clay tablets, seals, and other artifacts, primarily from sites like Knossos and Hagia Triada. As Linear A remains largely untranslated, the exact phonetic value or meaning of this character is unknown, though it is thought to have been used for administrative and religious record keeping in the Minoan language.
