U+1218B "𒆋" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Ush Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1218B "𒆋" Cuneiform Sign Ka Times Ush is a specific composite logogram from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing the combination of the sign for "KA" (often associated with the mouth, speech, or an opening) and the sign for "USH" (frequently signifying death, foundation, or a male adult). This particular compound sign was used on ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets to denote a distinct lexical or phonetic value, likely in administrative or ritual contexts, where orthographic complexity was common for specifying nuances in meaning or sound. The character belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block of the Unicode Standard, enabling modern digital encoding and scholarly analysis of these ancient writing systems without loss of the sign's original graphic integrity.
