Unicode Version 17.0

𐚧

U+106A7 "𐚧" Linear A Sign A407-Vas is a character from the Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A407-VAS, likely represents a vessel or container based on its syllabic and logographic interpretation within the undeciphered script, often appearing on clay tablets and administrative artifacts. While Linear A remains largely untranslated, the sign is significant for its role in recording economic and ritual activities in Minoan palaces such as Knossos, offering scholars a glimpse into the linguistic and cultural complexities of the ancient Aegean world. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this mysterious writing system.
