𒄐
U+12110 "𒄐" Cuneiform Sign Gisal is a logogram from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, specifically representing a type of wooden implement or tool, often interpreted as a "saw" or "knife," and is commonly used in cuneiform texts as a determinative or syllabic sign. It belongs to the cuneiform block of Unicode, which enables the digital encoding of wedge-shaped characters from the world's earliest known writing systems, dating back to around 3200 BCE in Mesopotamia.
