𐚿
U+106BF "𐚿" Linear A Sign A515 is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script used by the Minoan civilization of ancient Crete, primarily during the Bronze Age. This sign represents one of many abstract or syllabic marks found on clay tablets and other artifacts, which were used for administrative and possibly religious record-keeping. Its exact phonetic value and meaning remain unknown, as Linear A has not been successfully deciphered despite numerous attempts by scholars. The inclusion of A515 in the Unicode standard helps preserve and facilitate digital research into this enigmatic writing system, allowing historians and linguists to catalog and compare Minoan inscriptions more effectively.
