𐜶

U+10736 "𐜶" Linear A Sign A664 is a character from the Linear A script, a writing system used by the Minoan civilization of Crete during the Bronze Age, roughly between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This particular sign, classified as A664 in the standard catalog of Linear A symbols, remains undeciphered, as the language it represents has not yet been conclusively identified or fully translated. It is encoded in the Unicode standard under the Linear A block, which was added to support scholarly study and digital preservation of ancient scripts. The character itself is a logographic or syllabic glyph, typical of Linear A, and it contributes to the ongoing archaeological and linguistic efforts to understand Minoan culture and administration.
