The article was interesting.

Can someone explain:

Why is it called "linear" Elamite?

Is there unicode for linear Elamite yet?

It simply means that the symbols are composed of lines – as opposed to a system such as cuneiform.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_system#Linearity for more detail.

Re: Unicode, there's a preliminary proposal: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2021/21233-linear-elamite.pdf
