Unicode Version 17.0

𒄜

U+1211C "𒄜" Cuneiform Sign Gu2 Times Sal Plus Tug2 is a specific sign from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, included in the Cuneiform block of Unicode to enable digital representation of this historic writing system. This particular character is a compound sign formed by combining the base sign "GU2" with the signs "SAL" and "TUG2," representing a ligature or complex logogram used in cuneiform texts. It would have been utilized in scribal contexts to convey specific lexical, phonetic, or administrative meanings, often related to commodities, garments, or social roles, as the component signs individually refer to concepts like "neck" or "side" (GU2), "woman" (SAL), and "garment" (TUG2). Its inclusion in Unicode supports scholars, linguists, and digital humanities projects in accurately encoding and studying cuneiform inscriptions.
