Let \(C\) be an integral curve with one unibranch singularity of embedding dimension greater than two. We study decomposition of the compactified Picard variety \((\text{Pic}^ 0C)^ =\) into irreducible components for a unibranch singularity. We give a criterion for determining the beginning of a decomposition, defined by the number of generators of a module locally at the singularity. We discuss some particular cases where it is possible to give more precise descriptions. In the case of curves characterised by ``maximal ideal of \(M\) of the singularity equal to the conductor of \(C\)'' the basic decomposition given in section two actually gives components of \((\text{Pic}^ 0C)^ =\). We deal with the obvious first extension of this, namely, \(\text{rk} (M/C) = 1\). In this case the basic decomposition of \((\text{Pic}^ 0C)^ =\) given in section 1 does not give irreducible components but is only a step towards giving the irreducible components, which we do for the case of Gorenstein curves with \(\text{rk} (M/C) = 1\).
