Unicode Version 17.0

𒂦

U+120A6 "𒂦" Cuneiform Sign Ezen Times Bad is a specific logogram from the ancient Sumerian cuneiform script, formed by combining the sign for “festival” or “feast” (EZEN) with the sign BAD meaning “wall” or “old.” This compound sign primarily represented the Akkadian word *pará¹£u*, meaning “rites” or “divine ordinances,” and was used in religious and administrative contexts to denote sacred ceremonies or established decrees. Its inscriptions appear on clay tablets from Mesopotamia, often in the context of temple rituals or royal edicts, reflecting the integration of phonetic and semantic elements in cuneiform writing. As part of the Unicode Standard since version 8.0, it enables the digital representation and study of this key symbol from the world’s earliest writing systems.
