Unicode Version 17.0

𒈺

U+1223A "𒈺" Cuneiform Sign Mush3 Times A is a compound sign from the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a ligature formed by combining the sign "Mush3" with the sign "A". It belongs to the Cuneiform block of the Unicode standard, which encodes characters from the ancient writing system used in Mesopotamia. The sign "Mush3" itself typically denotes a serpent or snake, while "A" represents water or the syllable "a", so their combination likely carries a specific logographic or syllabic meaning in administrative, religious, or lexical texts. This character was used in the early to late Bronze Age, primarily on clay tablets, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital representation and study of these ancient inscriptions.
