Unicode Version 17.0
𒌾
U+1233E "𒌾" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times Gan2 Tenu is a specific character within the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, encoded in the Cuneiform block of the Unicode Standard. This sign represents a combination of the "URU" glyph and "GAN2" sign, modified by the "tenu" diacritic marker, which typically indicates a softened or lighter phonetic or semantic value in the ancient writing system. It was used in the writing of the Sumerian and Akkadian languages on clay tablets, often within administrative, economic, or religious texts from Mesopotamia, and its inclusion in Unicode aims to preserve and enable digital representation of these historical inscriptions.
