𒃵
U+120F5 "𒃵" Cuneiform Sign Gam is a glyph from the Mesopotamian cuneiform script, specifically part of the Sumero-Akkadian syllabary used primarily in ancient Sumer and later in Akkadian, Hittite, and other languages written in cuneiform. This sign represents the syllable "gam" and is formed by a combination of wedge shaped incisions characteristic of the script, often inscribed on clay tablets with a stylus. It appears in texts dating from the late 4th millennium BCE onward, frequently in administrative, legal, or literary contexts, where it contributed to the phonetic and logographic writing system of the ancient Near East.
