U+106A2 "𐚢" Linear A Sign A402-Vas Unicode Character

U+106A2 "𐚢" Linear A Sign A402-Vas is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, specifically representing a vessel or vase based on its assigned name. This character belongs to the Unicode block dedicated to Linear A signs, which encode the syllabic, ideographic, and ligaturing marks found on clay tablets and other artifacts from archaeological sites like Knossos and Phaistos. As part of the A402 series, "Vas" is thought to denote a type of container, possibly linked to administrative records of goods or offerings, though its exact phonetic or semantic value remains unknown due to the script's unreadable status. The inclusion of this sign in Unicode preserves it for digital research and comparative study with other ancient scripts like Linear B and Cypriot.
