𒇿

U+121FF "𒇿" Cuneiform Sign Lu2 Times Bad is a complex compound glyph from the cuneiform writing system used primarily for the Sumerian and Akkadian languages in ancient Mesopotamia. This specific sign combines the elements for "Lu2," which typically denotes a person or human, and "Bad," representing the concept of a wall or fortress, with the "times" indicator signifying a multiplicative or fused reading of the two components. In scholarly transliteration, it is used to represent a specific lexical or phonetic value, often appearing in administrative, legal, or literary texts to convey a precise term or name not easily expressed by simpler signs. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard at the Supplementary Multilingual Plane ensures digital preservation and modern textual analysis of this rare and historically significant character.
