Linear A Sign A575

239/341

𐛮 is the Linear A sign catalogued as A575, not a deciphered word. Linear A appears on Bronze Age administrative records and sacred objects from Crete, but its language remains undeciphered, so A575 has no agreed individual reading. If it appears as a box, use a font with Linear A coverage.

Text symbol

What 𐛮 means

A575 is a catalog identifier, not a confirmed word reading.

Linear A remains undeciphered, so no secure pronunciation or translation has been established for this individual sign. A575 is the modern catalog label used to identify it.

The script is generally understood as a Cretan creation. Its earliest evidence overlaps with Cretan Hieroglyphic, another script used on Crete, but scholars differ over whether the oldest finds belong to Linear A or to a distinct earlier script. Linear A is attested from the 18th to the 14th centuries BCE.

How is A575 connected to other signs?

The chart links A575 to two signs, not a reading.

Unicode's Linear A chart lists AB120 and AB021F beside A575. These are inventory associations; they do not prove the signs had the same sound or meaning.

Researchers use GORILA sign numbers to identify standardized signs and compare where they occur in the corpus of inscriptions. The numbers are catalog labels, not translations.

How do I type and display A575?

Use Unicode hex entry; display needs a font with Linear A coverage.

A575 is a catalog number, not a key. In an editor with Unicode hexadecimal input, enter 106EE; the exact keystroke depends on the editor and operating system.

Display is separate from input: your font needs Linear A coverage to show the character. Fonts can draw the same encoded sign in different styles.

Scholarly and typographic: A575 names an inventory entry, not a translated word.

Do not assign it a guessed sound, object, or name.

Why does A575 show as a box?

A font issue. If the active font lacks Linear A coverage, it may show a box. As of 2026, Noto Sans Linear A is a documented font option with this coverage.
