Unicode Version 17.0
U+12207 "𒈇" Cuneiform Sign Lu2 Times Kad3 Plus Ash is a rare and complex symbol from the Sumerian cuneiform script, used in ancient Mesopotamia for writing on clay tablets. Its name indicates that it is a composite glyph, combining the sign for "Lu2" (meaning person or man) with a compound of the signs "Kad3" and "Ash" (a wedge-like mark), likely representing a specific phonetic value or a specialized administrative term. This character belongs to the Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation block and serves as an example of how scribes created new signs by stacking or merging existing ones to express precise concepts in economic, legal, or literary texts. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures the digital preservation of such historical writing systems for modern scholarship and linguistic research.
