ð’‚—

U+12097 "ð’‚—" Cuneiform Sign En is a specific glyph from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian writing system known as cuneiform, which was used in Mesopotamia around 3200 BCE. This sign represents the word "en," which carries the meanings of "lord," "master," or "high priest," and it holds religious and political significance as it was often used to refer to deities or to temple administrators. In Unicode's Cuneiform block, this character is part of a comprehensive effort to digitally encode the thousands of wedge shaped symbols from this extinct script, enabling modern scholars and enthusiasts to preserve, study, and share ancient texts electronically.
