Unicode Version 17.0

𐛏

U+106CF "𐛏" Linear A Sign A536 is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, approximately from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as A536 on Godart and Olivier's standard list of Linear A syllabograms and logograms, represents one of the many characters whose phonetic or semantic value remains unknown due to the lack of a bilingual text or external linguistic key. It is encoded in the Unicode Standard's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, specifically within the Linear A block, to facilitate digital preservation and scholarly study of this ancient writing system. The symbol's inclusion in Unicode allows researchers and typographers to accurately represent and analyze such texts without relying on images or specialized fonts, supporting ongoing efforts to decipher the script and understand Minoan language and culture.
