Unicode Version 17.0

𒇛

U+121DB "𒇛" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Ne is a specific glyph used in the ancient script of cuneiform, representing a combination of the "LAGAB" sign with the "NE" sign overlaid or multiplied. This character belongs to the "Cuneiform" block, which encodes the logographic and syllabic writing system originally developed by the Sumerians and later adopted by Akkadian, Hittite, and other Mesopotamian cultures. Its name describes a graphic compound where the basic sign for "LAGAB" (originally meaning a total or block) is combined with "NE," often used to indicate phonetic or semantic nuances. In academic contexts, such signs are crucial for the transcription and translation of ancient texts, particularly in economic, administrative, or literary records from the third and second millennia BCE, where precise sign combinations convey specific words or concepts.
