They put Linear A in unicode, a language no one speaks anymore in a script we dont know how to decipher. Thankfully, in case we have some Encino Man style shenanigans, some Cretan from 3000 years ago will be able to type and read it and explain what it is exactly that we've decided should be supported in unicode.

Linear A before the Tengwar. It's a crime.

Nah, Linear A was a real language written and spoken by thousands of people across hundreds of years. Tengwar is a made up fantasy language by a madlad in England.

Yet the Tengwar have more users in 2024 than Linear A. UTF isn't a museum.
