Unicode Version 17.0

𐛚

U+106DA "𐛚" Linear A Sign A550 is a symbol from the Linear A script, a writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete and other Aegean islands during the Bronze Age, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign remains undeciphered, as Linear A has not yet been fully translated, though it is believed to represent a phonetic syllable or a logographic meaning related to economic or administrative activities, such as accounting for goods like grain, oil, or livestock. The character is part of the Unicode Standard's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, allowing scholars and digital humanists to encode and study these ancient symbols in modern electronic texts. Its inclusion aids in the ongoing research and digital preservation of the Minoan language and culture.
