U+101E9 "𐇩" Phaistos Disc Sign Horn is a symbol originating from the enigmatic Phaistos Disc, a fired clay artifact discovered in Crete and dated to the Minoan civilization of the second millennium BCE. This sign, depicting a horn, is one of 45 distinct pictographic symbols that were pressed into the disc using movable type, a feature that has intrigued historians and archaeologists. The exact meaning of the sign remains unknown, as the Phaistos Disc inscription has not been deciphered, though it is often speculated to represent a horned animal or a ceremonial object with possible religious or administrative significance. In modern digital usage, this character allows the symbol to be rendered in text format across compatible systems, preserving a small piece of this ancient mystery for contemporary study and display.
