U+121C9 "𒇉" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Hal Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+121C9 "𒇉" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Hal is a compound sign from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform writing system, typically representing a phonetic value or logogram formed by combining the general sign LAGAB (meaning "block" or "area") with the sign HAL (meaning "to divide" or "a share"). This particular sign is often associated with the word for "city quarter" or "district" and appears in administrative and economic texts from Mesopotamia, where it designated a specific section of a settlement or a partitioned plot of land. As part of the Cuneiform script encoded in the Unicode Standard, this character helps preserve the complex syllabic and ideographic nature of one of the world’s earliest writing systems, used mainly on clay tablets from around the third millennium BCE.
