Unicode Version 17.0

𒍋

U+1234B "𒍋" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times Tu is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, which was used in ancient Mesopotamia for writing languages such as Sumerian and Akkadian. This sign is a compound logogram formed by combining the sign for "URU" (often representing a city or settlement) and "TU" (associated with the act of giving birth or a woman), creating a complex character that served a scribal or lexical function. In the cuneiform repertoire, such compound signs were used to convey nuanced meanings, often in religious, administrative, or astronomical texts, and this particular character is classified under the early dynastic and neo-Assyrian sign lists. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard at this high code point allows for the digital preservation and interchange of authentic ancient writing systems.
