U+12250 "𒉐" Cuneiform Sign Nim Times Gan2 Tenu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+12250 "𒉐" Cuneiform Sign Nim Times Gan2 Tenu is a specific graphic representation from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian writing system known as cuneiform, dating back to the third millennium BCE. This character is named for its constituent parts, as it visually combines the sign "NIM" with a modified or "tenu" (meaning thin or reduced) form of the sign "GAN2" (a term often associated with a type of field or estate). It belongs to the Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation block of the Unicode standard, which was encoded to digitally preserve and enable the study of these wedge-shaped inscriptions. The sign itself was used in administrative, legal, and economic texts to represent specific syllables or logograms, though its precise phonetic value or semantic meaning would have depended on its context within a particular clay tablet.
