Unicode Version 17.0

ð’¿¥

U+12FE5 "ð’¿¥" Cypro-Minoan Sign Cm100 is part of the Cypro-Minoan script, a still undeciphered writing system used on Cyprus and in parts of the eastern Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age, roughly between 1550 and 1050 BCE. This specific sign represents one of roughly 200 distinct symbols found on clay tablets, pottery, and other artifacts, and its designation as Cm100 follows the standard numbering system used by scholars to catalogue these characters. As a testament to the ongoing effort to preserve ancient scripts in the digital age, U+12FE5 was included in the Unicode Standard to facilitate academic research and textual analysis, though its precise phonetic or logographic value remains unknown. The sign's intricate wedge shaped design reflects the stylus based writing technique employed by scribes of that era, offering a tangible link to a lost language that may be related to the later Linear C script used for the Eteocypriot language.
