LINEAR A SIGN A556 is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of LINEAR A SIGN A556 is Left-to-Right (Strong). It belongs to the strong left-to-right characters..

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Other Letter (Lo) refers to letters that do not fit into the uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, or modifier letter categories. These include letters from scripts that do not have case distinction, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and others. This category is also used for syllabic and ideographic characters that function as letters.

This character belongs to the Linear A block. The Linear A block contains characters used in the Linear A script, which was used by the Minoan civilization on Crete and other Aegean islands during the 2nd millennium BCE. Linear A is a syllabary, meaning each character represents a syllable. The script remains undeciphered, making it one of the great mysteries of ancient writing. The block includes characters that have been identified on various artifacts, such as tablets and pottery. Understanding Linear A is crucial for gaining insights into the pre-Greek civilizations of the Aegean, particularly the Minoans..
