ð’‰—
U+12257 "ð’‰—" Cuneiform Sign Ninda2 Times Me Plus Gan2 Tenu is a complex logogram from the ancient Sumerian cuneiform script, part of the Early Dynastic and later Mesopotamian writing systems. It is formed by combining the sign for NINDA2 (meaning bread or food) with the signs ME (divine power) and GAN2 (field or plot), and specifically includes the "tenu" variant, indicating a thinner or finer rendering of the combined glyph. This character was likely used in administrative and economic texts to denote a specific type of ration, offering, or land measurement related to sustenance, and it reflects the highly compound nature of cuneiform signs where multiple semantic elements were merged into a single pictographic representation.
