U+121B2 "𒆲" Cuneiform Sign Kun Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+121B2 "𒆲" Cuneiform Sign Kun is a specific graphical representation from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, used in the writing system of ancient Mesopotamia. This sign, known as KUN, functions primarily as a logogram representing the concept of a tail, buttocks, or a foundation, and it also carries phonetic values such as "kun," "gir₂," and "sur" in Akkadian transcriptions. It belongs to the Unicode block "Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation" but is more specifically part of the earlier "Cuneiform" block, reflecting its origin in the standardized script used for writing Sumerian and Akkadian languages on clay tablets. The character's distinctive wedge and line arrangement encodes one of the hundreds of signs that scribes employed for administrative, legal, and literary texts, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this ancient writing system.
