What 𐜶 means
It marks a vessel quantity in this entry. A664 joins A418-VAS, the bull-headed vessel sign, with A709-2 L2, a fraction sign. As of 2026, Linear A remains undeciphered, so the quantity context suggests a measured amount but cannot yield a word translation.
Linear A likely developed on Crete; early records cluster at Phaistos. Older seal impressions may be Linear A or Cretan Hieroglyphic, another Cretan script. Around 1700–1450 BCE, it served records and ritual objects on Crete and nearby areas. Linear B later adapted its script to write early Greek.

1Why does 𐜶 show as a box on some devices?
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.
