U+106A3 "𐚣" Linear A Sign A403-Vas Unicode Character

U+106A3 "𐚣" Linear A Sign A403-Vas is a symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, approximately from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, catalogued as A403 and given the tentative phonetic or semantic label "VAS" by scholars, is believed to represent a vessel or a type of container, likely based on its resemblance to similar signs in the later, related Linear B script. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital representation and academic study of Linear A, helping preserve the record of this ancient language even though its exact phonetic value and meaning remain unknown.
