Linear B syllabogram di

It writes the open syllable transcribed di. A syllabogram is a sign for a syllable; here, the transcription represents a consonant d followed by a vowel i. The sign contributes one part of a longer spelling, not a complete translated word.

Linear B was adapted from Linear A, and the evidence points to a gradual process. The Room of the Chariot Tablets at Knossos, an archive on Crete, is treated as the earliest Linear B archive there. Its relative chronology places it in Late Minoan II or early Late Minoan IIIA1.

Linear A’s language remains unidentified; Linear B records Mycenaean Greek. Its surviving tablets are administrative records, including lists of people and goods and accounts. The later Cypriot syllabary also wrote Greek; its possible connection to Linear B runs through the Cypro-Minoan script.

Why does 𐀇 show as a box?

It usually means the font or fallback lacks this glyph. The character stays the same, though its outline can vary between fonts. If neither the chosen font nor a fallback contains it, the display may show an empty box. As of 2026-09-14, samples showed outline differences across fonts and operating systems.
