Unicode Version 17.0
𒃈
U+120C8 "𒃈" Cuneiform Sign Ga2 Times El Plus La is a complex logographic sign from the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, specifically part of the early Mesopotamian writing system used from the late 4th millennium BCE onward. It represents a compound ligature formed by combining the sign "GA2" (a common syllabic or determinative sign often associated with houses or containers) with the signs "EL" and "LA", typically used to express a specific phonetic or semantic value in administrative, legal, or literary texts. This character is encoded in the Unicode Standard's Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform block, which aims to preserve and digitize the ancient wedge-shaped scripts for modern computational use.
