Unicode Version 17.0

𒌄

U+12304 "𒌄" Cuneiform Sign Tir over Tir Gad over Gad Gar over Gar is a rare and visually complex glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, officially categorized as a combination of stacked signs that repeat themselves to form a dense graphic unit. Its name describes a layered structure where the sign for "tir" appears twice, followed by a double stacking of "gad" and then "gar" over "gar," suggesting it may have been used in specialized administrative or lexical contexts, possibly to denote a repetitive or intensified meaning. This character is part of the Cuneiform block in Unicode, representing an ancient writing system that originally employed wedge-shaped impressions on clay tablets for recording languages like Sumerian and Akkadian, and its inclusion in modern digital standards helps preserve these historical symbols for scholarly study and typographic reproduction.
