𒌐

U+12310 "𒌐" Cuneiform Sign U over U U Reversed over U Reversed is a specific and complex sign from the Cuneiform script, the ancient writing system used primarily for the Sumerian, Akkadian, and other languages of Mesopotamia. Its lengthy descriptive name indicates that the glyph is composed of four individual "U" shaped wedges, arranged in a vertical stack where the top and bottom pairs are oriented in opposite directions, with the upper "U" over another "U" and the reversed lower "U" over another reversed "U". This character was employed in the writing of the Sumerian language and likely represented a particular syllable, word, or logographic meaning within that linguistic context, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard's Cuneiform block to enable modern digital representation and study of these ancient texts.
