Unicode Version 17.0
ð’…°
U+12170 "ð’…°" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Ki is a specific glyph from the ancient Mesopotamian writing system known as cuneiform, used primarily to write the Sumerian and Akkadian languages. This character represents a composite sign formed by combining the cuneiform signs for "Ka" (often associated with the mouth or speech) and "Ki" (meaning earth or place), and it was likely employed as a phonetic or logographic element in complex syllabic writing. As part of the Cuneiform Unicode block, it preserves a small fragment of humanity's earliest known script, offering modern scholars and digital archivists a standardized way to encode and render these ancient wedge shaped inscriptions in text.
