U+10028 "𐀨" Linear B Syllable B060 Ra is a specific syllabogram from the Linear B script, an ancient writing system used primarily for administrative records in Mycenaean Greek civilization during the Late Bronze Age, roughly between 1450 and 1200 BCE. This character represents the syllable "ra" and belongs to the Linear B syllabary, which consists of about 87 syllabic signs alongside numerous logograms. Deciphered by Michael Ventris in the 1950s, Linear B was found inscribed on clay tablets at sites like Knossos, Pylos, and Mycenae, and this particular sign appears in various economic and inventory lists, helping scholars understand the administrative and linguistic structures of the Mycenaean palaces. In Unicode, it is encoded in the Linear B Syllabary block, which preserves these ancient characters for modern digital use and scholarly study.
