Unicode Version 17.0

𒿤

U+12FE4 "𒿤" Cypro-Minoan Sign Cm099 is a symbol from the undeciphered Cypro-Minoan syllabary, a writing system used on the island of Cyprus during the Late Bronze Age, roughly from the 15th to the 11th centuries BCE. This particular sign represents one of many characters in the script, which was employed primarily for administrative and possibly religious inscriptions on clay tablets, cylinders, and other artifacts. The Cypro-Minoan script itself is ancestral to the later Cypriot syllabary used for ancient Greek, but the specific phonetic value or meaning of Cm099 remains unknown due to the limited number of surviving texts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures digital preservation and academic access for researchers studying this enigmatic Mediterranean writing system.
