Unicode Version 17.0

𒂺

U+120BA "𒂺" Cuneiform Sign Ga2 Times A Plus Igi is a specific glyph from the ancient Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a composite sign formed by combining the base sign GA2 with the signs A and IGI. This character belongs to the Cuneiform Unicode block, which encodes the wedge-shaped writing system used primarily in Mesopotamia for languages like Sumerian and Akkadian. The visual composition of this sign reflects the logographic and syllabic nature of cuneiform, where GA2 often denotes a container or building, while A signifies water and IGI represents the eye or a state of seeing, together potentially forming a word or class of words in administrative or literary texts. As one of over a thousand assigned cuneiform signs in Unicode, U+120BA preserves the complex and historical character of this ancient writing system for modern digital representation and scholarly study.
