𒍈

U+12348 "𒍈" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times Pa is a logographic sign from the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, used primarily in the writing system of Mesopotamia. This specific sign represents a compound of the elements "URU," meaning city or settlement, and "PA," a phonetic or determinative component, combined through the scribal practice of ligature or multiplication to create a distinct glyph. It falls within the Cuneiform Unicode block, which was encoded to digitally preserve and represent the wedge-shaped writing system that dates back to the late 4th millennium BCE. Today, the character is used in academic and digital contexts for scholarly transcription, text analysis, and the preservation of cuneiform literature and administrative records.
