U+106EC "𐛬" Linear A Sign A573 Unicode Character

U+106EC "𐛬" Linear A Sign A573 is a symbol from the undeciphered script known as Linear A, which was used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, roughly from 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, catalogued as A573 in the standard sign list, belongs to a corpus of over 1,400 known inscriptions found on clay tablets, seals, and religious objects, primarily from sites like Knossos and Phaistos. Unlike the related Linear B script, which was used to write early Greek, Linear A remains unread, so the phonetic value and meaning of U+106EC are unknown, though it is classified among potential ideograms or syllabic signs that likely represented syllables, commodities, or administrative concepts. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode standard at version 14.0 enables digital preservation and scholarly study of this enigmatic writing system.
