Unicode Version 17.0

𒇼

U+121FC "𒇼" Cuneiform Sign Lu Times Bad is a compound sign from the Sumerian cuneiform script, formed by combining the sign for "lu" (meaning man or person) with the sign for "bad" (often associated with the concept of death or destruction) in a multiplicative or ligatured structure. This specific character represents a logogram that can denote the idea of a deceased person or a state of being dead, and it appears in ancient Mesopotamian texts, typically within administrative, legal, or literary contexts where mortality or the end of life is referenced. As part of the Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation block, this sign is encoded for digital representation, preserving the intricate wedge-shaped writing system used primarily in the ancient Near East from the 4th millennium BCE onward.
