Unicode Version 17.0

𒾡

U+12FA1 "𒾡" Cypro-Minoan Sign Cm023 is part of the Cypro-Minoan script, a syllabic writing system used primarily on the island of Cyprus during the Late Bronze Age, roughly from the 16th to the 11th century BCE. This particular sign, classified as Cm023 in the Cypro-Minoan corpus, represents one of the undeciphered or partially understood symbols from this ancient script, which remains a subject of scholarly research. The character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 14.0, released in September 2021, as part of the Cypro-Minoan block, enabling digital representation and study of this historical writing system. Its precise phonetic value or meaning has not been definitively established, but it is believed to correspond to a syllable or logographic element within the broader Cypro-Minoan inventory, which itself is thought to have influenced later Cypriot scripts, including the Cypriot syllabary.
