Unicode Version 17.0

𒌏

U+1230F "𒌏" Cuneiform Sign U over U Sur over Sur is a distinct glyph from the Early Dynastic period of Sumerian cuneiform, specifically representing a ligature formed by stacking two "U" signs on top of two "SUR" signs. This composite character was typically rotated 90 degrees from its normal orientation in inscriptions, functioning as a complex logogram or syllabic sign within the cuneiform writing system. It is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Cuneiform block, which preserves ancient Mesopotamian script for digital use, and its inclusion facilitates the accurate representation of specialized texts from the Sumerian and Akkadian languages.
