Unicode Version 17.0

𐝥

U+10765 "𐝥" Linear A Sign A805 is a script-specific symbol belonging to the Linear A writing system, which was used in Minoan Crete from roughly 1800 to 1450 BCE and remains largely undeciphered. This particular sign, cataloged as A805 in the standard linear A sign list, likely represents a syllabic character or a logographic value, as most Linear A symbols functioned either as syllables to spell out words or as ideograms for commodities, objects, or administrative entries. Because Linear A has not been fully deciphered, the precise phonetic or semantic meaning of this sign remains unknown, though it is almost exclusively found on clay tablets, seals, and ritual objects from archaeological sites such as Knossos, Phaistos, and Ayia Triada, where it was part of a complex record-keeping system for palace economies.
