ð’‚¥

U+120A5 "ð’‚¥" Cuneiform Sign Ezen Times An is a composite glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing the ligature of the signs for "festival" (Ezen) and "sky" or "god" (An). This character was used in ancient Mesopotamian writing, primarily on clay tablets, to convey a specific lexical or ideographic meaning related to religious or ceremonial contexts, often involving divine festivals. It belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block in Unicode, which encodes signs from the oldest stages of cuneiform writing. The symbol is rendered as a combination of two distinct wedge marks, reflecting the scribal practice of merging frequent word pairings into a single sign for efficiency. As part of the Unicode Standard, it ensures digital preservation and accessibility of ancient texts for scholarship and cultural heritage.
