U+1207E "𒁾" Cuneiform Sign Dub Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𒁾

U+1207E "𒁾" Cuneiform Sign Dub is a glyph from the Cuneiform script, one of the earliest known writing systems developed by the Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia. This specific sign, read as "dub," originally functioned as a logogram representing the word for a clay tablet or a document, and it also carried syllabic values in Akkadian and other languages that adapted cuneiform. Carved into wet clay with a reed stylus, the sign's wedge shaped marks reflect the distinctive visual style of the script, which was used for over three millennia across regions like Babylon and Assyria. Today, its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for the digital representation of this historically significant symbol, enabling modern scholars and enthusiasts to preserve and study ancient texts on computers and other electronic devices.
