U+106C5 "𐛅" Linear A Sign A525 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+106C5 "𐛅" Linear A Sign A525 is a glyph from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from around 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as A525 in the standard Linéaire A classification, represents one of the many syllabic or ideographic symbols found on clay tablets, seals, and other artifacts unearthed at sites like Knossos and Phaistos. Although its precise phonetic value or meaning remains unknown due to the script's undeciphered nature, scholars classify it within a corpus of over 1,400 known characters that likely conveyed syllables and logograms for administrative records. The inclusion of A525 in Unicode supports digital preservation and research, allowing linguists and historians to more easily study and compare these ancient inscriptions.
