U+100CE "𐃎" Linear B Ideogram B242 Chariot Frame Unicode Character

U+100CE "𐃎" Linear B Ideogram B242 Chariot Frame is a symbol from the ancient Linear B script, which was used for writing Mycenaean Greek, the earliest attested form of Greek, primarily on clay tablets from the Late Bronze Age. This particular ideogram represents a specific component of a chariot, namely the frame or chassis, and belongs to a set of detailed pictographic signs that catalogued various chariot parts, such as wheels and axles, in administrative records from palaces like Knossos and Pylos. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitize these early writing systems, allowing scholars and enthusiasts to study Mycenaean economy and technology, where chariot construction was a vital part of military and ceremonial life.
