Unicode Version 17.0

ð’€—

U+12017 "ð’€—" Cuneiform Sign Ab2 Times Balag is a compound sign from the ancient cuneiform script, representing a ligature formed by combining the signs for "Ab2" (cow or cattle) and "Balag" (a musical instrument or lamentation). This specific character was used in Sumerian and Akkadian writing, primarily in the context of liturgical texts and administrative records, where it denoted a related concept or sound value in the syllabic or logographic repertoire of cuneiform. Encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform block, U+12017 preserves a precise rendering of this historical glyph, enabling modern digital representation and study of one of humanity's earliest writing systems without altering its original wedge-shaped structure.
