U+1231B "𒌛" Cuneiform Sign Ud Sheshig Times Bad Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1231B "𒌛" Cuneiform Sign Ud Sheshig Times Bad is a complex logogram from the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script used in ancient Mesopotamia. Its descriptive name indicates that it is a compound sign formed by the juxtaposition of the characters for "Ud" (often representing the sun or day), "Sheshig" (possibly meaning "light" or related to brightness), and "Times Bad" (which suggests a multiplication or repetition of the sign "Bad," typically meaning "wall" or "fortress"). This glyph was employed in writing administrative, literary, or ritual texts, where its specific semantic nuances varied depending on context, often conveying concepts tied to solar imagery, time, or fortified structures. As part of the Unicode Standard's Cuneiform block, it preserves one of humanity's earliest writing systems for digital encoding and study.
