U+1072B "𐜫" Linear A Sign A653 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐜫
U+1072B "𐜫" Linear A Sign A653 is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on Crete primarily between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign is cataloged in the Unicode Standard as part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, assigned to a block dedicated to ancient Aegean scripts. As with most Linear A characters, its exact phonetic value and meaning remain unknown because the language it represents has not been fully deciphered, though scholars study it alongside related scripts like Linear B to hypothesize about its possible uses in administrative or religious contexts.
