U+12112 "ð’„’" Cuneiform Sign Gish Crossing Gish Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+12112 "ð’„’" Cuneiform Sign Gish Crossing Gish is a specific logogram from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian writing systems, representing the word for "tree," "wood," or "plant" through the repetition and crossing of the basic GISH sign, which originally depicted a wooden object or stick. This compound character was often used in administrative and literary texts to indicate multiple or intertwined pieces of wood, or to denote a collective concept related to timber or vegetation. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard preserves a nuanced glyph from the cuneiform script, allowing for accurate digital representation of ancient Mesopotamian records where this crossed form clarified meaning in contexts such as trade, construction, or ritual inventories.
