U+122BC "𒊼" Cuneiform Sign She over She Gad over Gad Gar over Gar Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𒊼

U+122BC "𒊼" Cuneiform Sign She over She Gad over Gad Gar over Gar is a complex graphical glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a composite sign formed by stacking the cuneiform symbols for "she" on top of another "she," then "gad" over "gad," and finally "gar" over "gar." This character, part of the Cuneiform block in the Unicode standard, is used in the writing of ancient Mesopotamian languages such as Sumerian and Akkadian, where such stacked signs often denote specific phonetic values, logographic meanings, or specialized scribal conventions. Its elaborate structure reflects the historical practice of combining multiple signs to create new distinct characters for precise textual representation, though in modern digital usage it serves primarily as a scholarly reference for preserving and studying these ancient scripts.
