Unicode Version 17.0
𒋜
U+122DC "𒋜" Cuneiform Sign Si Gunu is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a variant of the sign "SI" that is written with a special shading or hatching technique known as "gunu." This particular sign, which appears in the Cuneiform block of the Unicode standard, was used in ancient Mesopotamian writing to denote phonetic syllables or ideographic concepts, often as part of composite logograms or in specific orthographic contexts where the gunu modification indicated a distinct lexical or grammatical meaning. Its inclusion in digital typography helps preserve and reproduce the nuanced visual detail of this ancient writing system for scholarly texts and modern historical representation.
