𒃟

U+120DF "𒃟" Cuneiform Sign Ga2 Times Mi is a complex logogram from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing the combination of the signs GA2 and MI to form a distinct semantic unit. This glyph was used primarily in the context of administrative and economic texts in ancient Mesopotamia, often to denote a specific type of container, measure, or commodity. The sign GA2 typically relates to a house, temple, or container, while MI can signify darkness or night, so their fusion likely conveyed a specialized meaning in commercial or ritual records. As part of the Unicode Standard for Cuneiform, this character helps preserve the nuanced writing system of one of history's earliest literate cultures, enabling modern scholars to digitally encode and study these ancient inscriptions.
