Unicode Version 17.0

𐜈

U+10708 "𐜈" Linear A Sign A606 is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script used by the Minoan civilization on Crete and other Aegean islands during the Bronze Age, primarily between approximately 1800 and 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as A606 in the standard corpus, represents one of the many phonetic or logographic glyphs that appear on clay tablets and other administrative artifacts, where it likely conveyed a specific sound, syllable, or commodity, though its exact meaning remains unknown because Linear A has not been successfully deciphered. It is one of over 1,400 known Linear A characters, and its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and enable digital study of this ancient writing system for linguists, historians, and archaeologists.
