Unicode Version 17.0

𒃪

U+120EA "𒃪" Cuneiform Sign Ga2 Times U is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a ligature or compound sign formed by combining the sign GA2 (a determinative often used for houses or containers) with the phonetic sign U. This character is part of the Unicode Standard's Cuneiform block, which encodes the ancient writing system used in Mesopotamia for over three millennia. In its historical context, such composite signs were employed to convey precise syllabic or logographic meanings in administrative, legal, and literary texts, with "GA2" typically indicating a building or structure and "U" contributing a phonetic value, though the exact reading and usage of this particular combination can vary across periods and scribal traditions.
