U+10711 "𐜑" Linear A Sign A616 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐜑

U+10711 "𐜑" Linear A Sign A616 is one of hundreds of syllabic and ideographic signs used in the undeciphered Minoan script known as Linear A, which was employed in Crete and other Aegean islands from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A616 in the standard sign list, likely represents a particular syllable or logogram, though its exact phonetic or semantic value remains unknown because Linear A has not yet been reliably deciphered. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows scholars and linguists to digitally represent and analyze this ancient script, preserving a piece of Bronze Age writing that predates the later Linear B script used for Mycenaean Greek.
