U+122A8 "𒊨" Cuneiform Sign Sag Gunu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+122A8 "𒊨" Cuneiform Sign Sag Gunu is a graphical variant of the standard cuneiform sign SAG, which typically represents the word for "head" or "top" in Sumerian and Akkadian texts, and the addition of "gunu" indicates that the sign is written with a stippled or cross-hatched filling rather than solid wedges. This specific form was used in Mesopotamian script to distinguish certain lexical or phonetic nuances, often appearing in complex sign lists or as a determinative in scholarly and administrative records. The character belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block and is encoded for digital representation of ancient writing systems, preserving the stylistic variation that scribes employed for clarity or emphasis in clay tablet inscriptions.
