U+1000F "𐀏" Linear B Syllable B077 Ka is a character from the ancient Linear B script, which was used primarily for writing Mycenaean Greek, the earliest attested form of the Greek language, on clay tablets dating from around 1450 to 1200 BCE. This specific syllable represents the sound "ka" and is part of a syllabary of about 87 phonetic signs that were deciphered in the mid-20th century by Michael Ventris and John Chadwick.
