Unicode Version 17.0

𒌋

U+1230B "𒌋" Cuneiform Sign U is a character from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing the syllable "u" or the determinative for the concept of "and" or "together" in ancient Mesopotamian writing. This sign is part of the early writing system used primarily on clay tablets in Sumer, Akkad, and later Babylonian and Assyrian civilizations, where it functioned as a phonetic syllable and as a logogram in religious, administrative, and literary texts. Its wedge shaped marks were inscribed with a stylus, and the character symbolizes a key element in deciphering the complex script that recorded some of humanity's earliest known written language.
