U+1216E "ð’…®" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Im Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1216E "ð’…®" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Im is an individual wedge shaped glyph belonging to the Sumero Akkadian cuneiform script, one of the earliest known writing systems developed in ancient Mesopotamia. This specific sign is a compound character formed by combining the cuneiform signs for "Ka" and "Im" within a single ligature or composite block, and it was used to represent a particular syllable or logographic concept in the Akkadian and Sumerian languages. Inscribed onto clay tablets with a reed stylus, such signs were part of a vast syllabary and logographic repertoire that scribes employed for administrative, literary, and religious texts from around the third millennium BCE. The character is encoded in the Unicode standard under the Cuneiform block, allowing modern digital systems to preserve and display this important element of ancient writing.
