Unicode Version 17.0

ð’…¹

U+12179 "ð’…¹" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Mi Plus Nunuz is a complex logogram from the ancient Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, formed by combining the signs for KA ("mouth" or "speech"), MI (often associated with "dark" or "night"), and NUNUZ (representing "egg" or a female symbol). This particular character is part of the Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation block, and its structure reflects the scribal practice of stacking or merging phonetic and semantic components to create a single composite sign. Though its specific usage in texts is rare and often tied to lexical lists or scribal exercises, it exemplifies the intricate system of cuneiform writing where multiple elements could be fused to convey nuanced meanings or serve as a determinative in administrative or literary contexts.
