Unicode Version 17.0

𒁘

U+12058 "𒁘" Cuneiform Sign Dag Kisim5 Times Amar is a graphical symbol from the ancient cuneiform script, which was used primarily in Mesopotamia for writing Sumerian and Akkadian languages. This specific sign consists of the base component DAG combined with the repeated sign KISIM5, multiplied five times, and followed by the sign AMAR, creating a complex logogram that likely represented a specific word, administrative term, or phonetic combination in recorded clay tablet texts. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard's Cuneiform block, which was added to support the digital representation of cuneiform writing, allowing researchers and linguists to accurately reproduce and study these ancient inscriptions in modern electronic documents. While its exact meaning in ancient texts may require scholarly interpretation, its preservation as a Unicode character underscores the importance of protecting and making accessible the diverse writing systems of antiquity.
