U+121DD "𒇝" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Shita Plus Gish Plus Erin2 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+121DD "𒇝" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Shita Plus Gish Plus Erin2 is a specific glyph within the Cuneiform script block, representing a complex compound sign used in the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian writing systems. Its name indicates an evolution from simpler components: the base sign "Lagab" (a general term for a block or clod) is multiplied by "Shita" (an axe or tool) and combined with "Gish" (wood or tree) and "Erin2" (a variant of the word for cedar or a related plant). This compound likely encoded a specialized lexical or phonetic value, reflecting the scribal practice of stacking or combining signs to denote nuanced meanings or loanwords in administrative, economic, or literary texts from Mesopotamia. Despite its technical name, the character is rarely used in modern digital contexts outside of scholarly reconstruction or Unicode demonstration.
