U+12057 "𒁗" Cuneiform Sign Dag Kisim5 Times A Plus Mash is a complex logogram from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, used primarily in the writing of the ancient Mesopotamian languages Sumerian and Akkadian. Its name describes its construction as a compound sign combining the elements DAG, KISIM5 (a variant of the sign for “liver” or “decree”), repeated five times, and the sign MASH, which together represent a specific lexical or phonetic value, often associated with administrative, ritual, or divinatory texts. This character belongs to the Cuneiform block of the Unicode Standard, which encodes hundreds of such signs to preserve the historical and linguistic data of early writing systems from the Near East.
