Unicode Version 17.0

𒾜

U+12F9C "𒾜" Cypro-Minoan Sign Cm013 is a graphical symbol from the undeciphered Cypro-Minoan script, which was used primarily on the island of Cyprus during the Late Bronze Age, roughly between the 15th and 10th centuries BCE. This character belongs to the Cypro-Minoan syllabary, a writing system that remains largely unread and is thought to have been influenced by the Linear A script of Minoan Crete, possibly representing an early form of the Eteocypriot language. The sign Cm013 is one of many distinct symbols recorded from inscriptions found on clay tablets, pottery, and other artifacts, offering scholars a fragmentary yet vital glimpse into the administrative and cultural life of pre-Hellenic Cyprus. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard helps preserve and enable digital research on this ancient script, facilitating academic study and comparison with related writing systems like Linear B.
