U+10014 "𐀔" Linear B Syllable B080 Ma Unicode Character

U+10014 "𐀔" Linear B Syllable B080 Ma is a glyph representing a syllable from the Linear B script, which was used in ancient Greece, primarily on Crete and the Greek mainland, from around 1450 to 1200 BCE for writing Mycenaean Greek. This particular character, valued as syllable B080, corresponds to the sound "ma" and is part of a syllabary of roughly 90 signs that documented administrative and economic records on clay tablets. Deciphered by Michael Ventris in 1952, Linear B revealed the earliest known form of Greek, and the "ma" sign, like others, was typically inscribed with a stylus, its form derived from the earlier Linear A script of the Minoan civilization.
