Unicode Version 17.0

𒇡

U+121E1 "𒇡" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Sum is a compound cuneiform glyph from the standard Sumero-Akkadian syllabary used by ancient Mesopotamian scribes. This specific sign is formed by combining the basic "LAGAB" shape within the "SUM" sign, a typographic convention where one cuneiform character is inscribed inside another to denote a distinct phonetic or logographic value. In cuneiform writing, such composite signs typically represented specific syllables or complete words, often related to accounting, administrative records, or ritual texts on clay tablets. The character is encoded in the Unicode standard's Cuneiform block (U+12000–U+123FF), which was introduced to digitally preserve and study the world's oldest known writing system from regions like Sumer, Akkad, and Babylon.
