What 𐜴 means
A662 is the sign's catalogue name; its sound or word value is unknown. As of 2026, Linear A remains undeciphered; its signs may stand for syllables or whole words, depending on context.
Linear A probably developed on Crete under influence from writing in the Near East (western Asia and nearby lands). Early records cluster at Phaistos in the First Palace period (19th–18th centuries BCE); the name marks the era of Crete's first palaces. In the Second Palace period (17th–15th centuries BCE), Linear A spread across Crete and the Aegean. Clay tablets tracked storeroom goods; set-phrase sanctuary inscriptions show ritual use. Linear B later adapted it for Mycenaean Greek.

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
