Unicode Version 17.0
𒃕
U+120D5 "𒃕" Cuneiform Sign Ga2 Times Hub2 is a sign from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, one of the earliest known writing systems from ancient Mesopotamia. This specific character is a compound logogram formed by the combination of the sign GA2 and the sign HUB2, used in Sumerian and Akkadian texts, where it often represents a phonetic value or a specific word related to concepts of covering, enclosure, or pots and vessels, as GA2 commonly signifies a container or a house. The sign dates back to the third millennium BCE and was inscribed on clay tablets using a wedge shaped stylus, with its modern inclusion in Unicode helping to preserve and digitally represent this ancient script for scholarly study and historical documentation.
