U+106F0 "𐛰" Linear A Sign A577 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+106F0 "𐛰" Linear A Sign A577 is a symbol 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 A577 in the standard corpus of Linear A characters, represents one of many syllabic or ideographic glyphs found on clay tablets, seal stones, and other archaeological artifacts discovered primarily at sites like Knossos and Phaistos. Its exact phonetic value or meaning remains unknown, as Linear A has not been fully deciphered, though it is part of a broader class of signs that likely denote syllables, logograms for commodities, or numerical values in administrative records. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode standard allows for its digital representation and study, aiding researchers in the ongoing effort to analyze and potentially decode this ancient script.
