What 𐙌 means

AB123 identifies the sign; it is not a translation. AB123 is a modern catalogue code. It tells readers which sign an entry discusses, not what word or pronunciation an ancient scribe gave it.

Linear A probably developed on Crete. Its surviving records span the 18th–14th centuries BCE, with early material concentrated at Phaistos.

The writing appears in records of stored goods and on offering tables and cult objects with formulaic religious inscriptions. Cretan Hieroglyphic and Linear B belong to related Bronze Age writing traditions, but that connection does not establish how AB123 was read.

Why does 𐙌 look different in another font?

It can. Unicode does not prescribe one exact design, so fonts may give 𐙌 different outlines. A change in outline is typographic; by itself, it does not mean you are seeing another historical sign.
