U+121EA "𒇪" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Ush Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+121EA "𒇪" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Ush is a logogram from the ancient Mesopotamian writing system known as cuneiform, specifically composed of the sign LAGAB combined with the sign USH, where LAGAB represents an area or enclosure and USH typically denotes a snake or a protective deity. This compound sign was used primarily in Sumerian and Akkadian texts to convey specific syllabic or lexical meanings, often related to administrative, economic, or religious contexts, such as referencing a type of land allotment or a protective entity. Its existence in the Unicode standard, part of the Cuneiform block (U+12000 to U+123FF), ensures that scholars and digital archivists can accurately represent and preserve these ancient scripts in modern computing environments, facilitating the study of early writing and administrative systems from the third millennium BCE.
