Unicode Version 17.0

𒃞

U+120DE "𒃞" Cuneiform Sign Ga2 Times Me Plus En is a complex cuneiform logogram from the Sumerian script, used in ancient Mesopotamian writing on clay tablets. It represents a compound sign formed by combining the elements for "GA2" (often signifying a house or container), "ME" (associated with divine powers or ritual ordinances), and "EN" (a title for a lord or high priest). This character belongs to the Cuneiform block of Unicode, encoded to support the digital representation of texts from the Sumerian, Akkadian, and other cuneiform-using languages. It exemplifies how scribes created semantic composites to express abstract concepts, such as authority or temple functions, by merging multiple phonetic or ideographic components into a single sign.
