𒀌

U+1200C "𒀌" Cuneiform Sign Ab Times Dun3 Gunu is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a complex sign formed by combining the elements for "AB" (meaning "house" or "temple") and a variant of "DUN3" (often associated with an agricultural tool or measure) with a gunu or "speckled" marking, which typically indicates a modified or derived pronunciation or meaning. This character encodes a rare or specialized logogram used in ancient Mesopotamian texts, likely appearing in lexical lists or administrative records, where it conveyed a nuanced concept related to grain storage, temple administration, or measurement. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for the accurate digital preservation and scholarly study of the world’s oldest known writing system, bridging modern technology with ancient epigraphy.
