U+106EF "𐛯" Linear A Sign A576 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+106EF "𐛯" Linear A Sign A576 is a paleographic symbol from the undeciphered Minoan writing system known as Linear A, which was used on the island of Crete and in parts of the Aegean during the Bronze Age, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A576 in standard scholarly inventories, belongs to a corpus of over a hundred known symbols that represent syllables, logograms, or numerical values, though its exact phonetic or semantic meaning remains unknown due to the lack of a bilingual Rosetta Stone for the script. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital preservation and scholarly research, facilitating the study of this ancient script alongside related systems like Linear B, which was later used to write Mycenaean Greek.
