U+1233C "𒌼" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times Ga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𒌼
U+1233C "𒌼" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times Ga is a glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a specific combination of the signs for "URU" (often meaning city or settlement) and "GA" (which can relate to milk or a verb for production). This compound sign typically functioned as a logogram or determinative in ancient Mesopotamian texts, where the multiplication of signs indicates a semantic or phonetic fusion, likely used to denote a specific place name, administrative term, or commodity. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard’s Cuneiform block (U+12000 to U+123FF) allows for digital representation and study of these ancient writings, preserving the complexity of scribal practices from over four thousand years ago.
