Does A577 have a known meaning?

As of 2026, A577 has no settled word reading or pronunciation.

Linear A is an ancient writing system from Crete, not yet deciphered well enough to read in full; surviving inscriptions span the eighteenth to fourteenth centuries BC. It seems to have developed locally, influenced by broader Near Eastern writing traditions. Its records include clay tablets listing goods and storage, plus formulaic religious inscriptions on offering tables and objects from cultic or funerary settings. Cretan Hieroglyphic is a separate Cretan script from an overlapping period; shared-looking signs suggest exchange in bookkeeping, not direct descent. After Linear B appeared, Linear A ceased to be used administratively.

In the complex-sign catalogue, A577 is listed with 𐙉 (AB120) and AB056. These are sign relationships, not a translation or pronunciation.

Why does Linear A Sign A577 show as a box?

A box usually means the font cannot display this Linear A sign.

Unicode identifies 𐛰 as one character, while the font determines how it is drawn. If the active font lacks a Linear A glyph, software may show a box or fallback mark; fonts with coverage can draw the same sign in different styles. If the shape looks unfamiliar, verify that the text is U+106F0 before treating it as another sign.
