Unicode Version 17.0
𒈟
U+1221F "𒈟" Cuneiform Sign Lum over Lum Gar over Gar is a compound glyph from the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform script, specifically part of the Sumero-Akkadian syllabary. This character is formed by stacking the sign for "Lum" on top of another "Lum," combined with the sign for "Gar" over a second "Gar," creating a complex ligature likely used in logographic or syllabic writing to represent a specific word, syllable, or semantic nuance within administrative, legal, or literary texts. As a rare or specialized sign, it reflects the scribal tradition of combining existing symbols to expand the writing system's capacity to convey precise meanings, particularly in the late Bronze Age cuneiform corpora.
