U+106FC "𐛼" Linear A Sign A589 is a glyph representing a specific syllabic sign from the Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on Crete and other Aegean islands during the Bronze Age, primarily from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, catalogued as A589 in the standard signary, belongs to a writing system that remains largely undeciphered, though it is hypothesized to represent a phonetic syllable or a logogram for a commodity or concept. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, within the Linear A block added in Version 7.0, ensures digital preservation and scholarly accessibility for linguistic and archaeological study.
