Unicode Version 17.0

𒉪

U+1226A "𒉪" Cuneiform Sign Nun over Nun is a specific glyph from the ancient Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a ligature formed by stacking two "NUN" signs, each of which traditionally denoted the word for "prince" or "princely" and could also signify the number 50. This particular compound sign was often used in writing personal names, divine names like that of the god Enki/Ea, or logographic terms related to royalty and high status, as the repetition of NUN served to emphasize or modify its meaning. While not as common as simpler cuneiform signs, "Nun over Nun" is attested in lexical lists and royal inscriptions from the ancient Near East, contributing to the nuanced system of writing that combined phonetic, syllabic, and logographic elements.
