U+101F1 "𐇱" Phaistos Disc Sign Bee is a symbol derived from the enigmatic Phaistos Disc, a clay artifact discovered on the island of Crete in 1908 and dating to the Minoan civilization of the second millennium BCE. This specific pictograph, identified as a bee, is one of 45 distinct stamped symbols on the disc, arranged in a spiral pattern of 241 tokens that have never been deciphered with certainty. As part of the Phaistos Disc characters encoded in Unicode’s Linear A and Linear B supplementary block, the bee sign joins other iconographic figures like warriors, plants, and animals, offering a digital representation of an ancient script that continues to intrigue linguists and archaeologists, though its meaning and phonetic value remain a mystery.
