Linear A Sign A663

A663 is a catalog label, not a deciphered reading. As of 2026, a Linear A sign index marks it unclassified; no accepted reading as a word, name, or sound is known. Similar-looking Linear B signs cannot prove how A663 was read.

Linear A served Bronze Age record keeping: surviving texts mix signs for syllables, whole words, numerals, fractions, and transactions. A 2020 archaeological overview associates the earliest preserved tablets with Knossos and Phaistos; most surviving tablets belong to the script’s final administrative phase.

Cretan Hieroglyphic partly overlapped in time with Linear A. Linear B later developed from Linear A and reused many of its sign forms, but those connections do not reveal A663’s reading.

Why does 𐜵 not display?

A box means the active font cannot render this sign. 𐜵 is text, and its visible form depends on a font that includes Linear A; a missing-glyph box does not give it another identity or reading.

Use a font with Linear A coverage to see it. In code, use a code-point escape or an HTML numeric reference; the methods below represent the same character. Do not enter the Unicode chart’s linked sign codes in place of A663.
