𒉲
U+12272 "𒉲" Cuneiform Sign Nunuz Ab2 Times Igi Gunu is a composite symbol from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a specific logographic or syllabic value formed by combining the signs for NUNUZ, AB2, and IGI with a gunu (hatching) modification. This character is part of the Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation block, though it serves a primarily phonetic or word signing function rather than a numeric one, often appearing in administrative, legal, or lexical texts from ancient Mesopotamia. Its intricate design reflects the scribal practice of layering determinatives and phonetic complements to clarify meaning within the complex cuneiform writing system, which was used for languages such as Sumerian and Akkadian.
