Phaistos Disc
The Phaistos Disk symbols are encoded with LTR directionality in Unicode (blue are extra alternates in F01D0 F01E7):
They are, thus, mirror images of the symbols on the disk itself (see Phaistos.pdf for a vector image of the disc). Aegean also encodes (in F0200 F0247) the above glyphs with RTL directionality. They are shown below, typed from right to left:
Side A presented with LTR directionality:

Aegean encodes these signs in the range FFF20 FFF31 of Plane 15.
Signs found on vessels from Troy, excavated by Heinrich Schliemann. They appeared in the exhibition "Troy and Thrace", in the spring of 1983 at the State Museum of Fine Arts, in Moscow (http://kladina.narod.ru/kazanskiy/kazanskiy.htm).

The Dispilio Tablet (also known as the Dispilio Scripture or the Dispilio Disk) is a wooden tablet bearing inscribed markings (), unearthed during George Hourmouziadiss excavations of Dispilio in Greece; it is carbon 14-dated to about 7300 BP (5260 BC). It was discovered in 1993 in a Neolithic lakeshore settlement that occupied an artificial island near the modern village of Dispilio on Lake Kastoria in Kastoria Prefecture, Greece. The tablets discovery was announced at a symposium in February 1994 at the University of Thessaloniki. The sites paleoenvironment, botany, fishing techniques, tools and ceramics were published informally in the June 2000 issue of , a Greek archaeology magazine and by Hourmouziadis in 2002. There is no academic publication of the tablet.
