U+1205F "𒁟" Cuneiform Sign Dag Kisim5 Times Gud Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𒁟

U+1205F "𒁟" Cuneiform Sign Dag Kisim5 Times Gud is a compound glyph from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian writing system, combining elements representing "DAG," "KISIM5," and "TIMES GUD" to create a specific semantic or phonetic value. This character is part of the Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform block in the Unicode standard, which preserves the wedge-shaped script used in Mesopotamia from around 3200 BCE. The sign's name indicates it is a complex ligature, where "KISIM5" modifies the base "DAG" sign, and "TIMES GUD" suggests a multiplication or repetition of the "GUD" (ox) cuneiform element, likely used in administrative or lexical texts to denote a particular commodity, measurement, or concept. As with many cuneiform signs, its precise usage requires context from the original clay tablets, where it would have been inscribed with a stylus to represent a syllable or logogram in Sumerian or Akkadian language records.
