Unicode Version 17.0

𐝃

U+10743 "𐝃" Linear A Sign A704 E is a symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, roughly between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This specific sign, designated as A704 with the phonetic value "E" by scholars, belongs to the syllabic category of Linear A characters, which are believed to represent syllables rather than individual letters or logograms. Officially encoded in Unicode version 14.0 (2021) within the Linear A block, the character provides a standardized digital representation for academic study, though the exact meaning of the sign remains unknown due to the lack of a successful decipherment of the entire Linear A corpus. Its form, a simple vertical line with a small hook at the top, is one of the more common and widely recognized signs in the script, often appearing in administrative and religious inscriptions found on clay tablets and votive objects.
