ð’‰ 

U+12260 "ð’‰ " Cuneiform Sign Nisag is a logogram from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, specifically representing the term "nisag" or "nindaba," which denotes the first fruits, the choicest portion, or the initial offering made to a deity in religious and economic contexts. This sign, composed of wedge-shaped impressions on clay tablets, was commonly used in administrative and ritual texts from Mesopotamia to record the allocation of high-quality goods such as grain, animals, or other tribute as sacred offerings to temples or gods. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and digital archives can accurately preserve and analyze this historically significant symbol, which provides insight into the theological and economic priorities of early Near Eastern civilizations.
