U+12277 "ð’‰·" Cuneiform Sign Nunuz Ab2 Times U2 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð’‰·

U+12277 "ð’‰·" Cuneiform Sign Nunuz Ab2 Times U2 is a compound sign from the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform script, representing a combination of the signs for "egg" or "offspring" (Nunuz), the cow (Ab2 with the meaning of "cow" or "ox"), and a phonetic or semantic element U2 (often associated with plants or grass). This specific ligature, as its name suggests, visually merges these individual cuneiform wedges into a single glyph, and it was employed in Sumerian and Akkadian writing systems to denote a nuanced or specific concept likely related to cattle, produce, or perhaps a metaphorical offspring of the field. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard under the Cuneiform block ensures that this ancient logographic and syllabic character can be accurately encoded and preserved for digital texts and scholarly research in Assyriology and linguistics.
