𐜘
U+10718 "𐜘" Linear A Sign A623 is a symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from around 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A623 in standard Linear A sign lists, is one of many syllabic or ideographic symbols found on clay tablets and other artifacts, though its precise phonetic or semantic value remains unknown due to the script's lack of a known linguistic key. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital representation and study of this ancient script, aiding researchers in efforts to analyze patterns and context within Linear A inscriptions.
