Unicode Version 17.0

𐜇

U+10707 "𐜇" Linear A Sign A604 is a glyph representing a specific syllabic or ideographic sign from 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 sign, cataloged as A604 in the standard corpus of Linear A signs, is one of over 1,400 known characters from the script, which was used for administrative and religious inscriptions on clay tablets and other artifacts. Its exact phonetic value or meaning remains unknown due to the lack of a bilingual key or deciphered texts, though scholars hypothesize it may represent a syllable or a word related to economic or ritual activities. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard, starting with version 14.0 in 2021, ensures its digital representation for academic study and preservation of ancient Aegean writing systems.
