Unicode Version 17.0
𒂉
U+12089 "𒂉" Cuneiform Sign Dur2 is a specific glyph from the Cuneiform script, an ancient writing system used primarily in Mesopotamia. This particular sign, known as DUR2, originally represented a binding or tying concept, often functioning as a determinative or syllabic element in Sumerian and Akkadian inscriptions found on clay tablets. Its wedge shaped strokes are typical of the cuneiform style, formed by pressing a stylus into wet clay, and its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows modern digital text to preserve and transmit this historically significant pictographic symbol.
