U+1229F "ð’ŠŸ" Cuneiform Sign Sag Times Sal is a compound sign in the ancient Mesopotamian writing system, formed by combining the cuneiform signs for "SAG" (meaning head or top) and "SAL" (meaning woman or female), creating a logogram that typically conveys the concept of a female head or something related to feminine leadership or status in Sumerian and Akkadian texts. This character belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block of the Unicode standard, preserving a specific glyph used in administrative, religious, or lexical lists from the third millennium BCE.
