Linear B Unicode Script

Linear B is a syllabic script used in the Mycenaean civilization, which flourished in mainland Greece from around 1600 to 1100 BCE. It was primarily used for administrative purposes, such as recording inventories, accounts, and religious rituals. Linear B was deciphered in the mid-20th century, revealing that it was used to write a form of Greek. However, it is distinct from the later Greek alphabet and represents a different stage in the development of the Greek language. The script is characterized by its simple linear forms and the use of ideograms to represent specific concepts or objects. While it is primarily syllabic, it also incorporates some logographic elements. Linear B is a valuable source of information about the Mycenaean civilization, providing insights into their economy, society, and religion.
