U+1219A "𒆚" Cuneiform Sign Kam2 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1219A "𒆚" Cuneiform Sign Kam2 is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a composite sign known as Kam2, which is read as "kam" and was used in the writing of the Sumerian and Akkadian languages on clay tablets in ancient Mesopotamia. This sign belongs to the block of the Unicode standard dedicated to Cuneiform, a system of wedge-shaped marks that served as one of the earliest known writing systems, dating back to the late 4th millennium BCE. The Kam2 sign is a modified form of the basic "KA" sign, often distinguished by additional wedges or complex inscribed elements, and it functioned as a syllabogram or logogram in various administrative, legal, and literary texts. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that modern digital representations can accurately preserve and reproduce these ancient inscriptions for academic study and cultural heritage.
