U+10002 "𐀂" Linear B Syllable B028 I Unicode Character

U+10002 "𐀂" Linear B Syllable B028 I is an ancient script character representing a syllabic sign from the Linear B writing system, which was used primarily for recording the Mycenaean Greek language on clay tablets during the Late Bronze Age, roughly between 1450 and 1200 BCE. This specific character, transcribed as "i" by scholars, corresponds to the vowel sound /i/ and was utilized in administrative and economic documents found at sites like Knossos and Pylos. As part of the Linear B syllabary, it belongs to a set of approximately 87 syllabic signs and over 100 logograms, making this character a direct link to one of the earliest known forms of Greek writing, which was not deciphered until the mid-20th century by Michael Ventris.
