U+101F8 "𐇸" Phaistos Disc Sign Flute is a pictographic symbol from the undeciphered Phaistos Disc, a Minoan clay artifact discovered in Crete and dated to around 1700–1600 BCE. This sign depicts a curved, flute-like instrument and is one of 45 distinct stamped symbols on the disc, which scholars often categorize as representing either a tool, a ritual object, or a musical instrument used in ancient Minoan culture. While the exact meaning of 𐇸 remains unknown due to the disc's unbroken code, it contributes to ongoing research into Bronze Age writing systems and symbolism, with some theories suggesting the disc may contain a prayer, a narrative, or a calendrical record.
