ð’…’

U+12152 "ð’…’" Cuneiform Sign Im Squared is a specific glyph in the Cuneiform script block, representing a Sumero-Akkadian logogram or syllabogram typically associated with the semantic value of "wind," "breath," or "name" (often read as "im," "tu," or related phonetic elements) and visually distinguished by being a composite sign that includes a smaller version of the same sign placed inside or besides a larger one, hence the designation "squared." This character is part of the standard encoding system for ancient Mesopotamian writing, enabling modern digital representation of texts from cuneiform tablets covering languages like Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hittite. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates scholarly research, text analysis, and accurate digital preservation of historical inscriptions.
