U+10101 "𐄁" Aegean Word Separator Dot is a historical punctuation mark used in the ancient Aegean scripts, most prominently Linear A and Linear B, which were employed by Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations to write their languages around the second millennium BCE. This small dot typically appears between words on clay tablets and other inscriptions, functioning as a straightforward visual divider to clarify boundaries where modern languages might use a space. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that scholars can digitally represent and study these ancient texts with accuracy, preserving a key element of early writing systems that predate the Greek alphabet by centuries.
