U+12F9A "𒾚" Cypro-Minoan Sign Cm012 is a graphic symbol representing a specific sign from the Cypro-Minoan syllabary, an undeciphered writing system used on the island of Cyprus during the Late Bronze Age, roughly between 1550 and 1050 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged under the modern identifier Cm012, is one of many characters in the Cypro-Minoan block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to enable digital representation and study of this ancient script. Its exact phonetic value and meaning remain unknown, as the script has not been fully deciphered, but it is believed to have been used for writing the Eteocypriot language, a pre-Genic language of Cyprus. The character is typically displayed as a stylized linear or pictographic mark, with its inclusion in Unicode aiding scholars and enthusiasts in preserving and analyzing this important but obscure part of Mediterranean history.
