U+12082 "ð’‚‚" Cuneiform Sign Dugud Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+12082 "ð’‚‚" Cuneiform Sign Dugud is a specific sign from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform writing system, first encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Cuneiform block for representing texts from Mesopotamia. This character represents the Sumerian word "dugud," which means "heavy" or "weighty," and was also used to denote the god "Dugud" or associated concepts of burden and importance. In cuneiform scripts, this sign functioned both as a logogram for these meanings and as a syllabic element, appearing in a wide range of administrative, literary, and religious inscriptions from the third millennium BCE onward. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital preservation, scholarly analysis, and display of these ancient wedge‑shaped marks, bridging modern computing with one of humanity’s earliest writing systems.
