U+120C4 "𒃄" Cuneiform Sign Ga2 Times Di is a specific ligature or compound sign within the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing the combination of the signs "GA2" and "DI" superimposed or fused together. This character belongs to the early writing system used in ancient Mesopotamia, where such composite signs often carried distinct phonetic or logographic values in administrative, economic, or literary texts.
