Unicode Version 17.0

ð’‰°

U+12270 "ð’‰°" Cuneiform Sign Nunuz Ab2 Times Dug is a complex logogram from the Sumerian cuneiform script, composed of the individual signs for "nunuz" (often meaning egg or offspring), "ab2" (a cow), and "dug" (a pot or vessel, or the verb "to be good"), combined to create a specific semantic value. This character represents a learned or compound glyph used primarily in administrative, religious, or lexical texts in ancient Mesopotamia, where such ligatures condensed multiple meanings into a single written symbol for efficiency or ritual precision. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for digital preservation and scholarly study of this ancient writing system, reflecting the nuanced ways scribes expressed complex ideas through the combination of simpler pictographic elements.
