Unicode Version 17.0

ð’…¯

U+1216F "ð’…¯" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Kak is a ligature from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a compound sign formed by writing the "KA" sign over or combined with the "KAK" sign. This character was used in ancient Mesopotamian writing to denote specific syllables or concepts, often related to administrative, lexical, or religious texts where such composite signs helped convey precise phonetic or logographic meanings. Encoded in the Cuneiform block of Unicode, this sign is part of a larger effort to digitally preserve the complex script, which was used to write several languages of the ancient Near East, including Sumerian and Akkadian.
