Unicode Version 17.0
U+106BD "𐚽" Linear A Sign A512 is a symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from around 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as AB 037 or A 512 by scholars, is believed to represent a syllabic value, though its exact phonetic interpretation remains unknown due to the lack of a known related language or a full bilingual text. The character is part of the Linear A block in Unicode, included to support academic study and digital preservation of ancient scripts, and its intricate linear form reflects the standardized style of Minoan administrative records. Its meaning and use are subjects of ongoing research, as Linear A continues to be a key focus for archaeologists and linguists working to understand the language and culture of the Minoans.
