Unicode Version 17.0
𐜭
U+1072D "𐜭" Linear A Sign A655 is a character from the ancient Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as A655 in the standard corpus of Linear A symbols, remains undeciphered as the script has not yet been fully understood, though it is believed to represent a syllabic or ideographic element related to the administrative and economic record keeping of Minoan palaces and settlements. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that scholars and linguists can digitally encode and share this rare historical character for research and preservation purposes.
