What it's used for here

The Unicode roadmap for the plane that holds the historic scripts. Read 2026-10-31: Linear A (U+10600) and the Phaistos Disc (U+101D0) are encoded, Cypro-Minoan and Linear B likewise, but Cretan Hieroglyphs has no allocated range and no listed proposal, so the script can only be set in private-use fonts such as Douros's Aegean font.
