Unicode Version 17.0

𒌧

U+12327 "𒌧" Cuneiform Sign Un Gunu is a specific glyph from the ancient Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, belonging to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block. This sign represents the base cuneiform character "UN" which has been modified with the "gunu" diacritic, a graphical marking that typically indicates a related or variant phonetic or semantic value in the writing system. In practice, the sign was used in Sumerian and Akkadian texts to write parts of words, often carrying meanings associated with people, community, or divinity depending on the context. Though rarely used in modern times, it is encoded in Unicode to support scholarly study and digital preservation of ancient Mesopotamian languages, allowing researchers to accurately represent these historic inscriptions in digital text.
