Unicode Version 17.0
𒍫
U+1236B "𒍫" Cuneiform Sign Zu5 is a specific logogram or syllabogram from the ancient Sumero Akkadian cuneiform script, primarily used in writing the Sumerian and Akkadian languages of Mesopotamia. This sign, named Zu5, represents a particular phonetic or semantic value within the cuneiform syllabary, often associated with the sound "zu" or as part of compound signs, and it appears in administrative, literary, and lexical texts inscribed on clay tablets. As part of the Cuneiform Unicode block, which encodes signs from the earliest known writing system dating to the late 4th millennium BCE, Zu5 helps modern scholars digitally preserve and analyze the complex wedge shaped characters that were impressed into clay using a stylus.
