Unicode Version 17.0

𒆣

U+121A3 "𒆣" Cuneiform Sign Ki Times Ud is a specific glyph from the Cuneiform script used in ancient Mesopotamia, representing a combination of the Sumerian signs for "ki" (meaning earth or place) and "ud" (meaning day, sun, or storm). As a compound logogram, it embodies a meaningful union of these two fundamental concepts, often associated with the sun's emergence from the earth at dawn or a specific solar or temporal event in Sumerian and Akkadian texts. This character is part of the Early Dynastic cuneiform block in Unicode, preserved for scholarly work in epigraphy and the study of ancient Near Eastern languages. Its inclusion in the standard encoding allows linguists and historians to accurately represent and digitally archive these complex writing systems without altering the original semantic and symbolic significance.
