U+12240 "𒉀" Cuneiform Sign Naga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+12240 "𒉀" Cuneiform Sign Naga is a specific glyph from the ancient Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing the word or concept associated with the term "naga," which often refers to a type of deity or sacred object in Mesopotamian contexts. This character belongs to the Cuneiform script block within the Unicode standard, encoded to preserve and support the digital representation of one of humanity's earliest writing systems, used primarily in ancient Mesopotamia for over three millennia. The sign typically appears as a complex arrangement of wedge shaped impressions, characteristic of cuneiform writing, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for accurate textual study, linguistic research, and digital communication of historical documents, such as those found on clay tablets from the Sumerian, Akkadian, or Hittite empires.
