Unicode Version 17.0

𐝇

U+10747 "𐝇" Linear A Sign A708 K is a syllabic sign from the undeciphered Linear A script used in Minoan Crete, specifically assigned the phonetic value "K" by modern scholars for classification purposes. Belonging to the range of characters added to Unicode to support ancient Aegean scripts, this sign represents one of the many symbols inscribed on clay tablets, vessels, and other artifacts from the Bronze Age. Its exact pronunciation and meaning remain unknown, as Linear A, which was used to write the Minoan language, has not been definitively deciphered, but it is studied alongside related scripts like Linear B to better understand Minoan administration, trade, and culture.
