Unicode Version 17.0
𒉁
U+12241 "𒉁" Cuneiform Sign Naga Inverted is a character from the Standard Babylonian cuneiform script block, representing a specific sign used in ancient Mesopotamian writing. This inverted variant of the "Naga" sign was employed in the Akkadian and Sumerian languages to denote a phonetic value or a logographic element, often associated with words or concepts related to the Sumerian term for "great" or "lord," though its precise interpretation can vary depending on context within cuneiform inscriptions. The character is one of many cuneiform signs digitized for modern computer use to support scholarly study and preservation of ancient texts, and it appears as a wedge-shaped glyph oriented opposite to its standard form.
