U+1226B "𒉫" Cuneiform Sign Nun Crossing Nun Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𒉫

U+1226B "𒉫" Cuneiform Sign Nun Crossing Nun is a rare and visually distinctive glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a ligature or composite sign formed by superimposing two standard "NUN" (𒉣) characters at perpendicular angles to create a cross or plus-like shape. This sign was used in ancient Mesopotamia primarily as a logographic or determinative element within administrative, economic, or religious texts, often denoting concepts of unity, intersection, or perhaps a specific toponym or deity associated with a crossing or confluence. Its inclusion in Unicode's Cuneiform block (range U+12000 to U+123FF) preserves a specialized but important piece of the complex cuneiform writing system, allowing for accurate digital representation and study of texts from the third to first millennium BCE.
