Unicode Version 17.0

𒿈

U+12FC8 "𒿈" Cypro-Minoan Sign Cm070 is a graphic symbol representing a specific syllabic sign from the undeciphered Cypro-Minoan script, which was used on the island of Cyprus during the Late Bronze Age, from approximately 1550 to 1050 BCE. This script, of which Cm070 is one component, is thought to have been used for writing an ancient language, possibly a form of Eteocypriot or a precursor to the later Cypriot syllabary, though its exact phonetic values and linguistic affiliations remain unknown to scholars. The inclusion of Cm070 in the Unicode Standard, within the Cypro-Minoan block added in version 14.0 of 2021, allows for the digital encoding, preservation, and study of these historical inscriptions, aiding researchers in comparing and analyzing the spread of writing systems in the ancient Mediterranean.
