Unicode Version 17.0

𐜦

U+10726 "𐜦" Linear A Sign A646 is a glyph from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A646 by scholars, belongs to a corpus of symbols that appear on clay tablets, seals, and other artifacts found at sites such as Knossos and Phaistos, possibly representing a syllabic or ideographic value for recording administrative or economic transactions. Because Linear A remains largely unreadable, the exact phonetic or semantic meaning of this character is unknown, though it is distinct in its visual form and contributes to ongoing efforts to understand Minoan language and culture through comparative analysis with the related Linear B script, which was used for Mycenaean Greek.
