U+1234C "𒍌" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times U Plus Gud is a compound cuneiform sign from the Sumerian and Akkadian writing systems, representing a combination of the signs for URU (city), U (a phonetic or semantic element), and GUD (ox or bull). It belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block and was used primarily in the third millennium BCE, often appearing in administrative or economic texts to denote specific lexical or syllabic values related to urban or agricultural contexts. The sign’s graphical structure layers these individual wedges into a single complex character, illustrating how scribes created new symbols by merging existing ones to convey nuanced meanings.
