U+120CB "𒃋" Cuneiform Sign Ga2 Times Gan2 Tenu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+120CB "𒃋" Cuneiform Sign Ga2 Times Gan2 Tenu is a specific, visually complex sign from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a combination of the sign "GA2" and the sign "GAN2 tenu," where "tenu" indicates a form of the second sign that is simplified or altered in shape. This sign belongs to the Cuneiform block of the Unicode standard, which encodes the ancient writing system used in Mesopotamia for over three millennia. As a composite sign, it would have been employed in Sumerian and Akkadian texts to denote a particular syllable, word, or logographic concept, though its precise linguistic value often depends on the textual context and the conventions of the scribe who originally wrote it. The inclusion of such detailed and infrequently used signs in Unicode allows for the accurate digital preservation and scholarly study of cuneiform inscriptions, even for highly specific or rare glyph forms like this one.
