Unicode Version 17.0

𐝁

U+10741 "𐝁" Linear A Sign A702 B is a specific character from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as A702 with a variant labeled B, represents one of the many syllabic or ideographic symbols found on clay tablets and other artifacts, primarily from administrative contexts. While Linear A remains largely unreadable, scholars have assigned this character a numerical code for study, often linking it to similar signs in the related Linear B script, which was adapted for Mycenaean Greek. The inclusion of U+10741 in the Unicode standard enables modern digital preservation and analysis, allowing researchers to transcribe and share the symbol across electronic platforms without relying on physical inscriptions.
