U+12122 "ð’„¢" Cuneiform Sign Gul is a logographic or syllabic sign from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian writing systems known as cuneiform, which was used in Mesopotamia from around the 4th millennium BCE. This particular sign, read as "gul" in Sumerian, often conveys meanings related to destruction, breaking, or demolishing, as seen in its use in words like "gul-gul" meaning to shatter or ruin.
