U+1205A "𒁚" Cuneiform Sign Dag Kisim5 Times Bi Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𒁚

U+1205A "𒁚" Cuneiform Sign Dag Kisim5 Times Bi is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, used in the writing system of ancient Mesopotamia. This character represents a complex sign formed by repeating the basic "DAG" or "KISIM5" element five times, as indicated by its name, which suggests an intensification or pluralization of the base sign’s meaning, often associated with lexical lists or administrative texts. It belongs to the Early Dynastic and later cuneiform inscriptions, encoded in the Unicode Standard's Cuneiform block to support digital preservation and study of ancient languages. The sign itself appears as a dense wedge-shaped cluster, reflecting the scribal practice of combining repeated strokes to denote specific phonetic or syllabic values in Sumerian or Akkadian.
