ð’€°

U+12030 "ð’€°" Cuneiform Sign An Plus Naga Opposing An Plus Naga is a compound sign in the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, representing the deity An (the sky god) combined with a serpentine or dragon like creature called Naga, depicted in a mirrored or opposing arrangement. This rare and highly specific glyph appears in the early dynastic period of Mesopotamian writing, where it was used as a logogram for the god Nergal or other underworld deities, reflecting the complex theological symbolism of divine power and chthonic forces. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard under the Sumero Akkadian Cuneiform block enables modern digital preservation and scholarly study of this ancient writing system, though its usage in original texts is limited to specialized religious or administrative contexts.
