U+120FC "𒃼" Cuneiform Sign Gar3 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𒃼

U+120FC "𒃼" Cuneiform Sign Gar3 is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, primarily used in ancient Mesopotamian writing on clay tablets to represent the syllable "gar" or a logographic element. This sign belongs to the Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform block within Unicode, which covers the script's complex repertoire of wedge-shaped symbols. It can be distinguished from similar signs like U+120C7 "𒃇" Gar3 by subtle variations in wedge count and arrangement, as cuneiform often employed such close distinctions for phonetic or semantic nuance. Modern digital encoding of this character allows for preservation and scholarly exchange of ancient texts, though accurate rendering depends on specialized fonts that support this archaic writing system.
