U+106A5 "𐚥" Linear A Sign A405-Vas is a specific written symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as A405 and given the Latinized name "Vas" based on its likely syllabic value, represents a phonetic syllable rather than a logogram for a vessel, though its exact interpretation remains uncertain due to the script's incomplete decipherment. The character belongs to the Supplementary Multilingual Plane and aids scholars in documenting and analyzing the corpus of Linear A inscriptions found on clay tablets and other artifacts from archaeological sites such as Knossos and Phaistos.
