U+10100 "𐄀" Aegean Word Separator Line is a small horizontal stroke used in ancient Aegean scripts, such as Linear A and Linear B, to separate individual words in inscriptions and clay tablets. This punctuation mark, which predates modern word spacing, was essential for clarifying the boundaries between terms in continuous writing systems that lacked spaces. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and digitally represent the textual practices of Bronze Age civilizations like the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures.
