Linear A sign A345

As of 2026, no securely deciphered word meaning is known for A345.

The earliest secure Linear A inscriptions date to Middle Minoan IIA, a period of Bronze Age Crete. Older marks on Archanes seals may belong to Linear A, Cretan Hieroglyphic (another Cretan script), or a precursor; their classification is disputed.

Linear A grew alongside palace administration in Bronze Age Crete: early clay records tracked goods and transactions. Later inscriptions on stone, metal, vessels and other objects also had religious or votive uses; votive objects were dedicated as offerings. Linear B, a later script used for Mycenaean Greek (an early form of Greek), borrowed much of Linear A’s graphic repertoire, though similar shapes need not have the same sound.

A 2026 sign catalogue lists A345 as a syllabogram—a sign for a syllable—and in one document. That classification places it among written sequences, not as a picture caption for an object.

How do I type this sign?

Use a Unicode-aware input method or a code point escape.

For HTML, 𐚅 is a numeric character reference; in JavaScript, use \u{10685} in source code or a string that supports Unicode code point escapes.

As rendered in a font, the modern glyph is a standardized drawing; traced marks on surviving objects vary with the object and scribe. If it appears as a box, choose a font with Linear A coverage.
