U+10046 "𐁆" Linear B Syllable B029 Pu2 Unicode Character

U+10046 "𐁆" Linear B Syllable B029 Pu2 is a specific syllabic sign from the Linear B script, which was used in ancient Crete and mainland Greece during the Mycenaean period (roughly 1450–1200 BCE) primarily for administrative records inscribed on clay tablets. This particular glyph represents the syllable "pu2," a less common variant within the syllabary that distinguished certain phonetic values from the more standard "pu" sign. Found in the Linear B Unicode block, it was encoded to support digital preservation and study of this early Greek writing system, which was deciphered in the 1950s by Michael Ventris and reveals an archaic form of the Greek language.
