U+12298 "𒊘" Cuneiform Sign Sag Times Dub is a specific logographic or syllabic sign from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian writing system known as cuneiform. This character is a compound sign formed by combining the individual cuneiform signs for "SAG" (meaning head or top) and "DUB" (meaning tablet or to seal) to create a distinct glyph with its own phonetic or semantic value. As part of the Cuneiform block in Unicode, it represents one of the many complex signs that scribes used on clay tablets to record administrative, legal, and literary texts in Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE.
