U+12006 "𒀆" Cuneiform Sign A Times Lagar Gunu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+12006 "𒀆" Cuneiform Sign A Times Lagar Gunu is a specific glyph within the Cuneiform block, representing a composite sign derived from the Sumerian cuneiform script. This character is formed by combining the sign for "A" (meaning water or seed) with the "Lagar Gunu" variant, where "Lagar" denotes a type of vessel or container and "Gunu" indicates a modified or crosshatched form, often used for phonetic or semantic nuance in ancient Mesopotamian writing. Used primarily in the Sumerian and Akkadian languages, this sign appears on clay tablets to convey complex syllables, words, or determinatives related to liquids, containers, or ritual objects. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard preserves a part of the world's earliest known writing system for modern digital representation, allowing scholars and enthusiasts to accurately reproduce and study ancient cuneiform texts.
