Unicode Version 17.0
𐛺
U+106FA "𐛺" Linear A Sign A587 is a symbol from the undeciphered script known as Linear A, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This particular sign is one of many phonetic or ideographic symbols cataloged in the Unicode standard under the Linear A block, which includes over 340 characters based on the work of scholars like Louis Godart and Jean-Pierre Olivier. While the exact phonetic value or meaning of Sign A587 remains unknown due to the script's undeciphered status, its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and enable digital study of this ancient writing system, which is distinct from the later Linear B script used for Mycenaean Greek.
