Unicode Version 17.0
U+106D6 "𐛖" Linear A Sign A545 is a part of the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A545, represents one of the many syllabic or ideographic symbols found on clay tablets and other artifacts, primarily from sites like Knossos and Phaistos. While its exact phonetic value or meaning remains unknown because Linear A has not been fully deciphered, scholars classify it within the script’s known repertory through comparative analysis with the related Linear B script. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that researchers and digital humanists can accurately represent and study this ancient character in modern electronic texts and databases.
