U+12149 "ð’…‰" Cuneiform Sign Igi over Igi Shir over Shir Ud over Ud Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð’…‰

U+12149 "ð’…‰" Cuneiform Sign Igi over Igi Shir over Shir Ud over Ud is a complex composite glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, formed by stacking multiple signs vertically: two instances of the "igi" (eye) sign above two "shir" signs, which themselves sit above two "ud" (sun or day) signs. This character was used in ancient Mesopotamian writing to represent a specific syllable or logographic concept, likely related to vision, light, or a ceremonial term, though its precise phonetic value or meaning remains a subject of scholarly study. It belongs to the Cuneiform block of the Unicode standard, encoding a rare graphical sequence that reflects the script's use of additive sign combinations to express increasingly nuanced ideas in administrative, legal, or religious texts from the third millennium BCE.
