U+10666 "𐙦" Linear A Sign A314 is a symbol representing a specific syllabic or ideographic sign from the undeciphered Linear A script, which was used primarily in Minoan Crete and the Aegean islands from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as a variant in the linear script's corpus, remains unreadable because the Minoan language it encodes has not yet been definitively linked to any known language family. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for digital preservation and scholarly markup of ancient inscriptions, facilitating comparative study with related scripts like Linear B, which was used for early Greek. The precise phonetic or semantic value of A314, however, continues to elude linguists and archaeologists due to the limited number of surviving texts and the lack of a bilingual key.
