U+106F1 "𐛱" Linear A Sign A578 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+106F1 "𐛱" Linear A Sign A578 is a graphical symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete primarily during the Bronze Age from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A578 in the standard syllabary of Linear A, represents one of many phonetic or logographic values that remain unknown to modern scholars due to the lack of a bilingual Rosetta Stone-like key for the script. It belongs to the Supplementary Multilingual Plane within Unicode, having been encoded to support the study and digital preservation of ancient Aegean writing systems, and it appears on clay tablets and other artifacts from sites such as Hagia Triada and Knossos, often alongside numerals and tally marks that suggest its use in administrative record keeping for commodities like grain or livestock.
