Unicode Version 17.0
𐜒
U+10712 "𐜒" Linear A Sign A617 is a symbol representing a single graphic sign from the undeciphered Linear A writing system, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign is cataloged as A617 in the standard corpus of Linear A glyphs, though its phonetic value and meaning remain unknown since the language encoded by Linear A has not been successfully translated. The character was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Linear A block, which was included in version 7.0 in 2014, to allow for the digital representation and scholarly study of these ancient inscriptions.
