𜻀
U+1CEC0 "𜻀" Hebe is a part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, specifically belonging to the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization of ancient Crete. This character represents a syllabic sign whose exact phonetic value remains unknown, as Linear A has not been fully decoded. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and facilitate scholarly research into this Bronze Age script, which predates Greek and remains a crucial puzzle in understanding Minoan language and culture. The name "Hebe" is an arbitrary, phonetic designation assigned by Unicode for identification purposes, not a confirmed linguistic translation.
