𒉱

U+12271 "𒉱" Cuneiform Sign Nunuz Ab2 Times Gud is a compound sign used in Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform writing, formed by combining the signs for "NUNUZ" (often associated with an egg or the concept of maternity), "AB2" (meaning cow), and "GUD" (meaning ox or bull). This logogram was employed in ancient Mesopotamian texts to represent specific lexical or phonetic values, particularly within the complex system of syllabic and ideographic writing on clay tablets. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for the digital representation and preservation of this ancient script, enabling modern scholars and enthusiasts to accurately transcribe and study cuneiform literature and administrative records from the third and second millennia BCE.
