Unicode Version 17.0
𒁻
U+1207B "𒁻" Cuneiform Sign Du over Du is a compound cuneiform sign from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian writing systems used in Mesopotamia, specifically formed by stacking two "DU" signs vertically. This ligature, like many such composite signs in cuneiform, represents a specific phonetic or syllabic value, typically used to denote the sound "dudu" or to serve as a logogram for a word, and it appears primarily in the Hittite and Urartian corpora of cuneiform texts. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard enables digital preservation and accurate transcription of ancient inscriptions, allowing scholars and enthusiasts to represent this distinct grapheme without relying on workaround fonts or images.
