U+1214A "ð’…Š" Cuneiform Sign Igi Gunu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð’…Š
U+1214A "ð’…Š" Cuneiform Sign Igi Gunu is a member of the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block and represents a specific variant of the cuneiform sign IGI, distinguished by the addition of a "gunu" or cross-hatched shading pattern. This sign typically denotes the Sumerian word for "eye" or "face," and its gunu modification often imparts a related but distinct meaning, such as "to see" or "to look," in ancient Mesopotamian writing systems. As a logogram, it was used in administrative, literary, and religious texts from the third millennium BCE, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and digital archivists can accurately represent this ancient script in modern computing environments.
