𐛎
U+106CE "𐛎" Linear A Sign A535 is part of the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific character, cataloged as sign A535 within the standard classification, appears on administrative clay tablets and other artifacts, where it likely represented a phonetic syllable or a logographic word for a commodity or object, as Linear A was primarily used for recording economic and religious transactions. Despite extensive study, Linear A remains undeciphered, so the exact sound or meaning of this sign, along with the overall language it encoded, is unknown to modern scholars.
