U+1203B "ð’€»" Cuneiform Sign Ash over Ash Tug2 over Tug2 Tug2 over Tug2 Pap is a complex and highly specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a ligature that visually stacks multiple signs on top of each other. The name describes its composition, beginning with the sign "Ash" repeated twice in a vertical stack, followed by "Tug2" also stacked twice, then another pair of "Tug2" signs, and finally the sign "Pap" at the bottom, resulting in a dense compound character used primarily in scholarly transliteration and digital encoding of ancient Mesopotamian texts. This character belongs to the Supplementary Cuneiform block and serves to preserve the precise graphical layout of original clay tablet inscriptions, ensuring that modern digital representation remains faithful to the scribal conventions of ancient writing systems.
