Unicode Version 17.0

𒉳

U+12273 "𒉳" Cuneiform Sign Nunuz Ab2 Times Kad3 is a specific glyph from the Cuneiform script, an ancient writing system used primarily in Mesopotamia for languages like Sumerian and Akkadian. This character's name breaks down its composite parts: "Nunuz" typically refers to a sign meaning "egg" or "offspring," while "Ab2" is a sign for "cow" or "ox," and "Kad3" (often a variant of "Kad") relates to a binding or tying concept. The "Times" in its name indicates that this character is formed by combining or juxtaposing these individual signs, likely representing a complex idea or semantic compound, such as a specific type of cattle or a ritual object, within administrative or literary texts. As part of the Cuneiform block in Unicode, it preserves a small piece of humanity's earliest written records for modern digital use.
