U+12211 "𒈑" Cuneiform Sign Lu2 Tenu is a glyph from the Mesopotamian cuneiform script, specifically representing the sign for the Sumerian word "lu2" (meaning "person" or "man") with a "tenu" or slim variant, indicating a narrower or simplified form of the standard sign. This character belongs to the Cuneiform block in Unicode, which encodes ancient writing systems from regions such as Sumer, Akkad, and Assyria, and it was added to the standard to support scholarly transcription and digital preservation of ancient texts.
