𒇊

U+121CA "𒇊" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Hi Times Nun is a complex composite sign from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a combination of the basic signs LAGAB, HI, and NUN arranged in a multiplicative or “times” relationship. This sign is part of the Unicode standard’s Cuneiform block, which encodes characters from the ancient writing system used primarily for Sumerian and Akkadian languages. The “times” notation indicates that the signs are overlaid or combined into a single grapheme, likely conveying a specific phonetic value or logographic meaning, though precise interpretations often depend on historical context and scholarly reconstruction. Such ligature signs illustrate the adaptability of cuneiform, which could represent syllables, words, or determinatives through spatial arrangements of its wedge-shaped strokes.
