Unicode Version 17.0
𒉑
U+12251 "𒉑" Cuneiform Sign Nim Times Gar Plus Gan2 Tenu is a specific complex sign from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a compound glyph formed by combining the components NIM, GAR, and GAN2 with the added designation "tenu," which indicates a thinner or finer rendering of the wedge marks. This character belongs to the Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform block within the Unicode standard, used primarily for encoding ancient Mesopotamian texts on clay tablets. Its name describes its structural composition, where the base sign NIM is multiplied (denoted by "Times") and merged with a GAR sign, followed by a "Plus" conjunction with a GAN2 element that is specifically drawn as "tenu," distinguishing it from other similar signs.
