Unicode Version 17.0

𒁩

U+12069 "𒁩" Cuneiform Sign Dag Kisim5 Times Pap Plus Pap is a complex logogram from the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, used primarily in the ancient Near East for writing on clay tablets. Its name breaks down into component parts, where "DAG" and "KISIM5" refer to base signs, and "TIMES PAP PLUS PAP" indicates a graphical composition that layers and repeats the "PAP" sign to form a specific, often specialized, syllabic or semantic value. This character belongs to the Cuneiform block of Unicode, which encodes signs from the standardized Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian periods, and it was used for administrative, legal, or literary texts rather than phonetic spells. The inclusion of such characters in Unicode ensures that modern digital preservation and scholarly study of ancient Mesopotamia remains possible, allowing researchers to accurately represent the wide variety of cuneiform signs.
