𐚤

U+106A4 "𐚤" Linear A Sign A404-Vas is a specific sign from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization of ancient Crete, primarily from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular character, cataloged as A404 and assigned the phonetic or semantic label "Vas," is thought to represent a type of vessel or container based on its logographic use in administrative and economic records, often found inscribed on clay tablets and seals. As part of the Linear A syllabary and ideographic set, its exact phonetic value remains unknown, but its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital preservation and scholarly study of this Bronze Age script.
