U+1216B "ð’…«" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Gu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð’…«
U+1216B "ð’…«" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Gu is a composite logogram from the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform writing system, formed by combining the signs for "Ka" (often representing the mouth or speech) and "Gu" (frequently signifying a thread, voice, or a numerical value). This specific ligature was used in ancient Mesopotamian texts to represent a distinct syllabic or lexical value, likely associated with concepts of utterance, consumption, or a particular kind of measurement, depending on its scribal context. As with many cuneiform characters, it is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform block to allow for the digital preservation and study of these early written records.
