Unicode Version 17.0

𐜝

U+1071D "𐜝" Linear A Sign A629 is a symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A629 by researchers, belongs to the subset of Linear A characters that represent syllabic or logographic values, though its exact phonetic or semantic meaning remains unknown because the language underlying Linear A has not been conclusively identified or deciphered. The character is part of the Unicode standard to preserve and enable digital representation of ancient scripts, aiding scholars in epigraphy and historical linguistics. As with nearly all Linear A signs, "𐜝" is primarily studied through archaeological artifacts such as clay tablets and seals, where it appears in administrative or religious contexts.
