Unicode Version 17.0

𐛸

U+106F8 "𐛸" Linear A Sign A585 is a symbol from the Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between approximately 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign, catalogued as A585 by scholars, remains undeciphered, as the Linear A script has not yet been fully translated and its underlying language is still unknown. The character is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of the Unicode Standard, specifically within the Linear A block, to support digital representation and study of this ancient writing system, preserving a fragment of Minoan textual heritage for modern researchers.
