Unicode Version 17.0
𐜠
U+10720 "𐜠" Linear A Sign A638 is a symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used in Minoan Crete and other Aegean regions during the Bronze Age, primarily from around 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, catalogued as A638 in the standard corpus, belongs to the set of syllabic and ideographic symbols that appear on clay tablets, seals, and other artifacts found at sites like Knossos and Hagia Triada. While its exact phonetic value or meaning remains unknown due to the script's undeciphered status, it is part of the broader effort by scholars to systematically classify these characters, aiding in computational analysis and comparative studies with the later Linear B script.
