Unicode Version 17.0

ð’‹Š

U+122CA "ð’‹Š" Cuneiform Sign Shim Times Din is a complex logogram from the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a compound sign formed by the combination of the signs "Shim" and "Din" overlaid or multiplied. This character belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block within Unicode and was used primarily in ancient Mesopotamian inscriptions between the 3rd and 1st millennia BCE. It typically served a phonetic or ideographic function, often appearing in administrative, legal, or liturgical texts to denote specific syllables or concepts, such as those related to judgment, counting, or ritual actions, depending on its context. As a rare and specialized ligature, its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve the linguistic and historical record of cuneiform writing systems.
