Phaistos Disc: U+E6D0 - U+E6FF

The corpus

The text of the Phaistos Disc is given below in UTF-8 encoding following the ConScript encoding of the Phaistos Disc script. A font for displaying this text is here. (This font is ©1998-2002 Michael Everson, may not be distributed to others via any other medium but my website without my permission. Commercial inquiries are, of course, welcome….) If you do download it, please let me know, as I am curious.

The text of the Phaistos Disc appears to have been written from right to left; therefore one reads into the faces of the people and animals depicted, as one does also when reading Egyptian hieroglyphs. The directionality given here is left-to-right, so accordingly the font presents the faces pointing to the left.
