U+106AD "𐚭" Linear A Sign A413-Vas Unicode Character

U+106AD "𐚭" Linear A Sign A413-Vas is a symbol from the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, approximately from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as A413 and referred to as "VAS," is believed to represent a vessel or a form of container, based on its resemblance to similar signs in the later, deciphered Linear B script, though its exact phonetic value and meaning remain unknown due to the lack of a successful decipherment of the Linear A language. It is encoded in the Unicode Standard's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, specifically within the Linear A characters block, to support digital representation and scholarly study of this ancient script.
