U+12345 "𒍅" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times Ki Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+12345 "𒍅" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times Ki is a specific sign from the ancient Sumerian cuneiform script, representing a combination of the signs for "URU" (city or settlement) and "KI" (place or earth) written as a ligature or fused form. This character is part of the Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform block in Unicode, allocated to encode wedge-shaped script used primarily for writing the Sumerian and Akkadian languages in Mesopotamia around the third millennium BCE. It functions as a logogram, often denoting the concept of a city, locality, or sacred site in administrative and religious texts on clay tablets. The inclusion of such detailed signs in Unicode helps scholars digitally preserve and research ancient writing systems, though this character is rarely used in modern contexts and appears mainly in academic studies of cuneiform.
