Unicode Version 17.0

𐜊

U+1070A "𐜊" Linear A Sign A609 is a symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A609 in the standard epigraphic inventory, belongs to the corpus of approximately 1,400 known Linear A characters, many of which remain uninterpreted due to the lack of a bilingual text or a known underlying language. While scholars speculate that Linear A represents a non-Greek, possibly Anatolian or Minoan language, the precise phonetic value or meaning of sign A609 has not been determined, though it is often classified among the syllabic or ideographic signs that appear on administrative tablets and ceremonial objects.
