U+1204C "𒁌" Cuneiform Sign Bi Times Igi Gunu Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𒁌

U+1204C "𒁌" Cuneiform Sign Bi Times Igi Gunu is a complex wedge shaped glyph from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, encoded in the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block of the Unicode standard. Its name indicates that it is a compound sign formed by combining the sign for "BI" with the sign "IGI" (which means eye or face) and further modified with a "gunu" notation, which typically refers to a cross hatched or shaded variant of a basic cuneiform sign. This character represents a specific syllabic or logographic value used in the writing of early Mesopotamian languages, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital representation and scholarly study of these ancient texts without relying on specialized fonts or transliteration alone.
