U+106C9 "𐛉" Linear A Sign A529 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+106C9 "𐛉" Linear A Sign A529 is a specific symbol from the undeciphered 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 particular sign, known only by its catalog number A529, is one of many phonetic or ideographic marks recorded on clay tablets and other artifacts, but its exact sound or meaning remains unknown because Linear A has not been fully decoded. The character appears in the Unicode standard as part of the Linear A block, added in version 7.0, to enable digital representation and scholarly study of this ancient writing system, preserving a tangible link to a lost language that predates the later Linear B script used for Mycenaean Greek.
