Unicode Version 17.0

ð’‹…

U+122C5 "ð’‹…" Cuneiform Sign Shid Times Im is a complex Sumero-Akkadian logogram from the cuneiform script, representing a ligature formed by combining the signs for SHID and IM, often used in administrative or lexical texts to convey a specific phonetic or semantic value related to the god Enlil, the wind, or incense, depending on context. It belongs to the early dynastic period of Mesopotamian writing and was encoded in Unicode's Cuneiform block to support digital archiving and scholarly study of ancient Near Eastern languages. This character exemplifies how scribes compounded simpler signs to create specialized terms, particularly in economic records or religious inscriptions from sites like Uruk or Nippur.
