What 𐀮 means
It represents the syllable transcribed as se.
Linear B adapted Linear A, a Minoan writing system used ca. 1800–1450 BC, for writing Mycenaean Greek. The earliest surviving group of Linear B texts at Knossos dates to the beginning of the 14th century BC.
A syllabogram represents one spoken syllable inside a word. Palace bookkeeping on clay tablets tracked goods, workers, and transactions. The later Greek alphabet did not descend from Linear B.
