U+10717 "𐜗" Linear A Sign A622 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐜗
U+10717 "𐜗" Linear A Sign A622 is a character from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between approximately 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A622 in the standard corpus of Linear A symbols, remains of unknown phonetic or semantic value due to the script's incomplete decipherment, though it is believed to represent a syllabic or ideographic element, possibly related to administrative or economic records often found on clay tablets. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for digital representation and study of Minoan writing, aiding researchers in comparative analysis with related scripts like Linear B.
