Unicode Version 17.0

𒌯

U+1232F "𒌯" Cuneiform Sign Ur2 Times Ha is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a compound sign formed by the combination of the "Ur2" sign (often associated with a dog or a specific phonetic value) and the "Ha" sign, which carries its own syllabic meaning. This ligature or composite character was used in ancient Mesopotamian writing on clay tablets, primarily to encode lexical lists, royal inscriptions, or administrative records, where the union of these two signs indicated a particular word or syllable that differed from writing the signs separately. The character is part of the Unicode Standard's Cuneiform block, which was added to support digital encoding and preservation of this ancient writing system, allowing modern researchers and enthusiasts to represent and study these historical texts with precision across computers and digital platforms.
