Unicode Version 17.0

ð’‹§

U+122E7 "ð’‹§" Cuneiform Sign Sum is a logogram from the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform script, used primarily in the Sumerian and Akkadian languages to represent the word "sum," meaning "to give" or "gift." This sign belongs to the Cuneiform script block within Unicode, specifically encoded as part of the Sumero-Akkadian glyph repertoire. Its wedge shaped markings were impressed into clay tablets with a stylus, typically carrying syllabic or ideographic value. In scholarly contexts, it is often transliterated in Latin form as "sum" and appears in economic, administrative, and literary texts from the third millennium BCE onward. The character serves as a key example of how cuneiform signs combined phonetic and semantic functions in early writing systems.
