Unicode Version 17.0
𐚰
U+106B0 "𐚰" Linear A Sign A416-Vas is a symbol from the undeciphered script known as Linear A, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete primarily during the Bronze Age, from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, catalogued as A416 in the standard corpus, likely functions as a logogram or ideogram within administrative texts, often inscribed on clay tablets, and is believed to represent a type of vessel or container, as suggested by its transliteration "Vas," a common abbreviation for "vase." While its exact phonetic value remains unknown due to the script's undeciphered status, its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and facilitate the digital study of this ancient writing system.
