U+106B6 "𐚶" Linear A Sign A504 Unicode Character

U+106B6 "𐚶" Linear A Sign A504 is a symbol from the Linear A script, a writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, approximately from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, catalogued as A504 by researchers, is classified as a syllabogram, though its precise phonetic value remains undeciphered, as Linear A has not yet been fully understood due to the scarcity of bilingual texts and the limited corpus of surviving inscriptions. It is part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane in Unicode, added in version 7.0 of the standard to support the digital preservation and scholarly study of ancient scripts, and it appears primarily on clay tablets, seals, and ritual objects excavated from sites such as Knossos and Phaistos.
