U+1008E "𐂎" Linear B Ideogram B120 Wheat is a symbol from the ancient Linear B script, which was used for writing Mycenaean Greek during the Late Bronze Age, primarily on clay tablets found at sites like Knossos and Pylos. This specific ideogram represents wheat, a staple grain in Mycenaean agriculture and economy, and was employed by scribes to record quantities of wheat in administrative documents such as inventories and ration lists. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard as part of the Linear B Ideograms block allows modern scholars and digital humanists to accurately encode, study, and preserve these ancient texts, providing insight into the agricultural practices and economic structures of early Greek civilization.
