Source: Browser Default
U+100A8 "𐂨" Linear B Ideogram B160 is a symbol from the ancient Linear B script, which was used for writing Mycenaean Greek on clay tablets primarily in the late Bronze Age. This specific ideogram, catalogued as B160, is conventionally interpreted as representing "wheat" or a type of grain, functioning as a logogram in administrative records to denote the commodity itself rather than a spoken syllable. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows scholars and digital humanists to represent, transcribe, and analyze these early economic documents accurately in modern text formats, preserving a crucial link to early European literacy and trade.
