𐛜

U+106DC "𐛜" Linear A Sign A552 is a glyph from 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 A552 in the standard sign list, likely represents a syllabic or ideographic value, though its precise phonetic meaning remains unknown due to the lack of a bilingual text or a clear decipherment of the language it encodes. The character is part of the Linear A block in Unicode, which was added to enable digital representation and scholarly study of these ancient inscriptions, which are typically found on clay tablets, seals, and ceremonial objects.
