U+121DE "𒇞" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Shita Plus Gish Tenu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+121DE "𒇞" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Shita Plus Gish Tenu is a rarely used, graphically complex sign from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, specifically part of the Unicode Standard's Supplemental Cuneiform block. This character represents a composite logogram formed by combining the base sign LAGAB with the inside sign SHITA and the appended phonetic or determinative element GISH, with the "tenu" marker indicating a weakened or altered reading. It falls within the range of early Sumerian administrative and lexical texts where precise combinations of wedges denoted specific commodities, measurements, or compound terms. Its encoding helps scholars digitally archive and preserve obscure Mesopotamian inscriptions that are essential for understanding ancient economic and linguistic practices.
