Script - Cypro Minoan
Cypro Minoan is an undeciphered writing system used on Cyprus and parts of the Levant during the Late Bronze Age, roughly from 1550 to 1050 BCE. The characters assigned to this script appear in a compact block, numbered from U+12F90 to U+12FF2, and represent syllabic signs, logograms, and numerical markers. Unlike Linear A or Linear B, Cypro Minoan remains unread, though scholars identify three main stylistic phases (CM 1, 2, and 3) based on tablet finds at sites like Enkomi and Ugarit. The script’s Unicode coverage includes both common and rare signs, including punctuation-like dividers, and it is distinct from the later Cypriot syllabary, which was deciphered in the 19th century and used for Greek and Eteocypriot. For text processing, recognizing Cypro Minoan as a separate script allows proper rendering of its unique glyph shapes and prevents confusion with other ancient systems, even though no phonetic values are assigned.
