U+106BA "𐚺" Linear A Sign A509 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐚺
U+106BA "𐚺" Linear A Sign A509 is a symbol from the ancient Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign has been cataloged as "A509" in the standard corpus of Linear A signs, though its phonetic value and meaning remain undeciphered, as the language of Linear A has not yet been conclusively linked to any known language family. Linear A was used for administrative and religious inscriptions on clay tablets and other objects, and while many of its signs overlap in form with the later Mycenaean Linear B script, Linear A itself continues to resist full translation.
