𒆾

U+121BE "𒆾" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times An is a compound sign from the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform script, formed by combining the sign LAGAB (representing a block or enclosure) with the sign AN (meaning "sky" or "god"), often used to denote divinity or celestial concepts. This specific ligature appears in Sumerian and Akkadian texts, where it could serve as a logogram or determinative in writing words related to heaven or deities, reflecting the scribal practice of merging signs to represent complex ideas efficiently on clay tablets.
