U+10694 "𐚔" Linear A Sign A360 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐚔

U+10694 "𐚔" Linear A Sign A360 is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A360 by scholars, belongs to a corpus of over 1,400 known Linear A inscriptions, but its exact phonetic or semantic value remains unknown because the script has not been reliably deciphered. While Linear A shares some visual similarities with the later Linear B script used for Mycenaean Greek, the phonetic readings assigned to those analogous signs in Linear B do not confidently apply to signs like A360. The character appears on clay tablets, seals, and other administrative artifacts, suggesting it was part of a system used for record keeping, likely involving numerals, commodities, or personal names, though its precise function in Minoan society is still a subject of ongoing archaeological and linguistic research.
