Unicode Version 17.0
U+1071C "𐜜" Linear A Sign A628 is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, approximately from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, catalogued as A628 by scholars, is one of many phonetic or ideographic symbols that appear on clay tablets, seals, and other administrative artifacts, primarily associated with accounting and religious records. Despite extensive research, the exact phonetic value or meaning of A628 remains unknown, as Linear A has not yet been successfully deciphered, though it is believed to represent a syllable or a word related to a specific commodity or concept. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode standard ensures its digital preservation and facilitates academic study and comparison with related scripts, such as the later Linear B.
