U+120EE "𒃮" Cuneiform Sign Gaba Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𒃮
U+120EE "𒃮" Cuneiform Sign Gaba is part of the Cuneiform script block and represents the Sumerian word for "chest" or "breast," often used as a logogram in ancient Mesopotamian writing. Originating in the cuneiform writing system developed by the Sumerians around 3200 BCE, this sign was inscribed on clay tablets using a wedge shaped stylus and served both as a phonetic element and a semantic determinative in texts spanning administrative, legal, and literary contexts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for the accurate digital representation of this ancient script, preserving a symbol that once documented the economic and cultural life of early civilizations in the Near East.
