Unicode Version 17.0
𒌁
U+12301 "𒌁" Cuneiform Sign Tir is a specific glyph from the ancient Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing the sign TIR, which originally depicted a tree or a forest and was used ideographically to mean "forest" or "wood" as well as phonetically for the syllable "tir". This sign forms part of the Cuneiform block in the Unicode standard, which was encoded to support the digital preservation and scholarly study of ancient Mesopotamian writing. In its cuneiform context, it appears in a wide range of economic, administrative, and literary texts inscribed on clay tablets, and its inclusion in Unicode allows modern linguists and historians to accurately represent and search these texts using digital typography.
