U+120AB "ð’‚«" Cuneiform Sign Ezen Times Igi Gunu Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð’‚«

U+120AB "ð’‚«" Cuneiform Sign Ezen Times Igi Gunu is a specific glyph from the ancient Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a complex sign formed by combining the logogram "Ezen" (often associated with festivals or abundance) with the sign "Igi" (meaning "eye" or "face") in a "gunu" (or "gunû") style, which denotes a scribal modification or decoration of the base sign. This character belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block of the Unicode standard, which encodes signs used primarily in the third millennium BCE. The sign "ð’‚«" is not commonly used in standard Neo-Assyrian or later cuneiform texts, but it appears in early Sumerian administrative and lexical lists. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital representation and study of these ancient writing forms, preserving the nuance of scribal variations that scholars rely on for understanding early Mesopotamian language and culture.
