Unicode Version 17.0

𐜐

U+10710 "𐜐" Linear A Sign A615 is one of the over one hundred syllabic and ideographic signs from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign, catalogued as A615 in the standard corpus, appears in administrative and religious inscriptions on clay tablets and other artifacts, often thought to represent a syllabic value or a logographic symbol for a commodity or concept, though its exact phonetic or semantic meaning remains unknown because Linear A has not yet been conclusively deciphered. Its addition to the Unicode standard allows for consistent digital representation and scholarly study of this enigmatic writing system, preserving a tangible link to an ancient language that continues to challenge linguists and historians today.
