U+100B5 "𐂵" Linear B Ideogram B173 Month Unicode Character

U+100B5 "𐂵" Linear B Ideogram B173 Month is a symbol from the ancient Linear B script used in Mycenaean Greece primarily for administrative record keeping on clay tablets, where it functioned as a logogram representing a unit or concept related to a month, likely in a calendrical or agricultural accounting context. Deciphered from inscriptions found at sites like Knossos and Pylos, this ideogram is part of a complex writing system that combined syllabic signs with over 200 ideograms for goods, people, and time periods. Its inclusion in Unicode under the Linear B Ideograms block allows scholars and digital historians to accurately encode and study this early form of written language, preserving a key piece of Bronze Age economic and cultural documentation.
