Unicode Version 17.0
𒆪
U+121AA "𒆪" Cuneiform Sign Ku is a specific glyph from the cuneiform script, one of the earliest known systems of writing, used primarily in ancient Mesopotamia for languages such as Sumerian and Akkadian. This sign represents the syllabic value "ku" and could also function as a logogram for the Sumerian word "gu" meaning "thread" or "cord," reflecting the script's complex nature where a single character could denote a syllable, a word, or even a determinative. Belonging to the Cuneiform block of the Unicode Standard, it enables digital preservation and study of these ancient texts, allowing scholars to accurately represent and share cuneiform inscriptions in modern electronic documents.
