Unicode Version 17.0

𒇤

U+121E4 "𒇤" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Te Plus A Plus Su Plus Na is a complex logographic sign from the cuneiform script, used primarily in the Sumerian and Akkadian languages of ancient Mesopotamia. Its name describes its graphic construction, combining the basic sign "Lagab" (often representing a block or enclosure) with the sequential addition of the signs "Te," "A," "Su," and "Na" layered or compounded together, indicating a highly specific semantic or phonetic value rather than a simple syllable. This character belongs to the Cuneiform Unicode block, which encodes thousands of such signs to support the digital representation of ancient texts on clay tablets. While its exact meaning varied over time and by context, such compound signs often encoded rare words, divine names, or specialized administrative terms, reflecting the scribal tradition of combining simpler elements to convey nuanced ideas or sounds.
