Unicode Version 17.0
𒊧
U+122A7 "𒊧" Cuneiform Sign Sag over Sag is a rare and compound grapheme from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, specifically defined as a ligature where the sign for "SAG" (meaning "head" or "top") is written twice, one directly above the other. This character belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block and is documented in the Unicode Standard as part of the U+12000–U+123FF range, which encodes ancient cuneiform signs. It is used primarily in scholarly texts and transliterations of Sumerian and Akkadian inscriptions, where such stacked signs often indicate a specific phonetic value, logographic nuance, or a reduplication of meaning, reflecting the scribal conventions of early Mesopotamian writing.
