Unicode Version 17.0

𒄌

U+1210C "𒄌" Cuneiform Sign Gir3 Times Gan2 Tenu is a specific glyph from the ancient Sumero Akkadian cuneiform script, classified under the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block. This sign represents a compound ligature formed by combining the cuneiform signs "GIR3" and "GAN2," with the addition of "Tenu" which indicates a thinner or reduced form of the sign. It was used in early Mesopotamian administrative and religious texts to convey particular phonetic or ideographic values, often related to terms for foot, path, or specific commodities. The character's inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for its digital representation and study in modern electronic documents, preserving a small but meaningful piece of the linguistic and historical record of the ancient Near East.
