U+106FE "𐛾" Linear A Sign A592 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐛾
U+106FE "𐛾" Linear A Sign A592 is part of the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A592 in the standard corpus of Linear A symbols, represents a syllabic or logographic element whose exact phonetic value or meaning remains unknown, as no bilingual Rosetta Stone-like key exists for the script. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows scholars and linguists to digitally encode, preserve, and study the sign alongside other ancient inscriptions, facilitating research into Minoan language, administration, and culture, though much about its original usage continues to elude modern understanding.
