Unicode Version 17.0
𒆆
U+12186 "𒆆" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Tar is a specific logographic or syllabic sign from the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform script system used primarily for writing the Sumerian and Akkadian languages. This compound glyph combines the elements "Ka" (often associated with the mouth or speech) and "Tar" (which can denote cutting or deciding) forming a ligature that likely represented a related or specialized phonetic or semantic value in administrative, legal, or literary texts. It belongs to the Cuneiform block of Unicode, which preserves the wedge-shaped signs impressed into clay tablets over four thousand years ago, allowing modern digital texts to accurately encode and represent this historical writing system.
