U+121C8 "𒇈" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Ha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+121C8 "𒇈" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Ha is a specific sign from the cuneiform script, which was used for writing several ancient languages of the Near East, most notably Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hittite. This character functions as a complex ligature or compound sign, formed by combining the basic sign "LAGAB" with the sign "HA" through a process of scribal composition where one sign is inscribed within or overlaid upon another. In the cuneiform writing system, such composite signs typically represented a distinct syllable, logogram, or determinative with a specific phonetic or semantic value, often related to the meanings of its constituent parts. The inclusion of this sign in the Unicode Standard as part of the Cuneiform block allows for the accurate digital representation and scholarly study of complex cuneiform texts, preserving the detailed structure of the original clay tablet inscriptions.
