Unicode Version 17.0
U+12353 "𒍓" Cuneiform Sign Ush Times Ku is a specific glyph from the ancient Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script used primarily for writing the Sumerian and Akkadian languages in Mesopotamia. This character represents a compound sign formed by combining the cuneiform elements "Ush" and "Ku," which together function as a logogram or syllabic indicator, often appearing in administrative, religious, or lexical texts from the third to first millennia BCE. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that scholars, linguists, and digital humanities projects can accurately encode and display this rare and historically significant sign in modern digital environments, preserving a small but meaningful piece of the world's earliest writing systems for study and online reference.
