Unicode Version 17.0
𒊦
U+122A6 "𒊦" Cuneiform Sign Sag Times Ush is a compound glyph from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, formed by combining the sign for "SAG" (meaning "head" or "top") with the sign for "USH" (often associated with "death" or "poison"). This specific composite character is part of the "Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation" block and was used in Assyrian or Babylonian contexts to represent a distinct lexical or phonetic value, likely related to administrative, ritual, or linguistic texts. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves a small but meaningful fragment of the written record from early Mesopotamian civilization, allowing scholars and enthusiasts to accurately render and study such detailed inscriptions in digital formats.
