linear b ideogram b251

Linear B Ideogram B251

86/123

𐃕 is an unresolved Linear B ideogram: a sign for an item, not a syllable. “B251” identifies the sign but not what it represented. Linear B adapted Linear A, used on Crete around 1800–1450 BCE, to write Mycenaean Greek; its ideograms marked goods in palace records. The Unicode 18.0 chart gives no gloss and says B251’s shape is only partly known; the font outline is not a full reconstruction.

Why does 𐃕 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Linear B Ideograms block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
