Unicode Version 17.0
ð’…¿
U+1217F "ð’…¿" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Sar is a compound glyph used in the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a combination of the signs "Ka" (often relating to the mouth or speech) and "Sar" (meaning to write or a plant). This particular ligature appears in early and later cuneiform writing systems, primarily within the Sumero-Akkadian corpus of texts, where such composite signs were employed to express specific phonetic values or logographic ideas. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard for Cuneiform (the Sumero-Akkadian block) allows for the accurate digital preservation and representation of ancient Mesopotamian inscribed documents, aiding scholars in the study of the world's earliest known writing systems.
