Unicode Version 17.0

ð’…Ž

U+1214E "ð’…Ž" Cuneiform Sign Im is an ancient symbol from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a wedge-shaped character that typically denotes the syllable "im" or the ideogram for "clay," "storm," or "wind." Carved into clay tablets with a reed stylus, this sign was used extensively in Mesopotamian writing systems from around the third millennium BCE, serving both phonetic and logographic functions in texts ranging from administrative records to epic literature. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows modern digital preservation and study of this essential element of early human communication, bridging millennia between ancient scribes and contemporary linguists.
