U+1234D "𒍍" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times Ud Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𒍍
U+1234D "𒍍" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times Ud is a compound sign in the cuneiform script, combining the characters for ‘URU’ (city or settlement) and ‘UD’ (day, sun, or light) to create a logogram that typically represents the Sumerian word for “storm” or “deluge.” This glyph belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block of Unicode, which encodes signs from the ancient writing system used in Mesopotamia from around the 3rd millennium BCE. Its specific meaning in context often refers to a destructive weather event or a mythological flood, and it is used in scholarly transliterations of Sumerian and Akkadian texts to preserve the nuanced phonetic and semantic values of the original wedge‑shaped inscriptions found on clay tablets.
