U+1218E "𒆎" Cuneiform Sign Ka2 Crossing Ka2 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1218E "𒆎" Cuneiform Sign Ka2 Crossing Ka2 is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script used in ancient Mesopotamia, representing a compound sign that visually depicts two “KA2” signs crossing or intersecting each other. This character belongs to the Cuneiform Unicode block and is classified under the category of a cuneiform sign, likely used in administrative, lexical, or religious texts as a logogram or determinative. The “Ka2” element itself is often associated with the Akkadian word for “gate” or “door,” and the crossing variant could denote a more specific meaning, such as a crossroads or a barrier, though its precise usage remains a subject of scholarly interpretation based on extant clay tablets. Modern digital encoding of this sign allows researchers, linguists, and historians to accurately represent and share ancient cuneiform inscriptions in electronic texts.
