What 𐂌 means
It marked cattle in palace accounts. Linear B ideograms labeled goods or animals, often beside a count. B109F is the cow form in a cattle set that also distinguishes a bull. The oldest surviving Linear B archive at Knossos dates to the late 15th or early 14th century BCE. Linear B adapted the earlier Aegean script Linear A and reused some of its signs.
