U+106CA "𐛊" Linear A Sign A530 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐛊
U+106CA "𐛊" Linear A Sign A530 is a symbol from the Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between approximately 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign has not yet been definitively deciphered, as Linear A remains a largely undeciphered writing system that likely represents an unknown language, though it is thought to have recorded administrative and religious information. The sign A530 is one of hundreds of known Linear A characters, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and enable digital study of this ancient script, which is distinct from its later descendant, Linear B, used for Mycenaean Greek.
