Unicode Version 17.0
𒀄
U+12004 "𒀄" Cuneiform Sign A Times Ha is a specific logographic or syllabic character from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, inscribed by pressing a wedge-shaped stylus into clay. This particular sign is a compound or ligature, combining the cuneiform signs for "A" (often representing water or a phonetic sound) and "HA," and it belongs to the block of Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation in the Unicode Standard. Used primarily in ancient Mesopotamian writing on clay tablets, it functioned as part of a complex writing system where signs could represent words, syllables, or determinatives. Its inclusion in Unicode allows modern scholars and digital archivists to accurately represent and preserve these ancient texts in electronic form.
