Unicode Version 17.0
ð’†
U+121AD "ð’†" Cuneiform Sign Ku4 is a wedge shaped symbol belonging to the ancient Sumerian writing system used in Mesopotamia as early as the 4th millennium BCE. This particular sign, known as KU4, served as a logogram and syllabogram within cuneiform script, representing the sound "ku" or "qu" and carrying meanings related to entering, going inside, or the concept of entering a temple or building. It is part of the Unicode Standard's Cuneiform block, which preserves these historically significant scripts for digital use, and its visual form consists of a larger horizontal wedge with smaller vertical and diagonal wedges arranged to replicate the inscribed markings pressed into clay tablets with a reed stylus.
