Unicode Version 17.0

𒂬

U+120AC "𒂬" Cuneiform Sign Ezen Times Kaskal is a composite logogram found in the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform script, formed by combining the signs for “Ezen” meaning “festival” or “feast” and “Kaskal” meaning “road” or “journey,” where the “times” indicates the two signs are written together as a ligature. This character belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block of Unicode, which encodes signs from the oldest stages of Sumerian writing, and it represents a specific concept likely related to a ritual or ceremonial procession along a path. As part of the standardized digital representation of cuneiform, it preserves an archaic lexical unit used in administrative or religious texts from the third millennium BCE, allowing modern scholars and typographers to reproduce ancient inscriptions with precision.
