Unicode Version 17.0

ð’Š¡

U+122A1 "ð’Š¡" Cuneiform Sign Sag Times Tab is a compound logogram in the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform script, combining the signs for "sag" (meaning head or top) and "tab" (meaning to double or to clasp), and it was used to represent a specific word or concept within the Sumerian and Akkadian languages. This character belongs to the Sumero Akkadian Cuneiform block of Unicode, which preserves the wedge shaped signs that were impressed into clay tablets over 5,000 years ago. Its inclusion in digital encoding allows modern scholars to accurately transcribe, search, and study ancient texts without relying on placeholder symbols or specialized fonts. The sign itself is formed by a central horizontal wedge crossed by multiple vertical and diagonal strokes, reflecting the scribal tradition of combining simpler signs to express more complex meanings.
