𒐲
U+12432 "𒐲" Cuneiform Numeric Sign Shar2 Times Gal Plus Dish is a specialized numerical symbol from the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform script, specifically used within the Sumerian and Akkadian sexagesimal (base-60) number system. Its name describes the combination of signs it represents: "Shar2" (often meaning 3,600 or a large unit), multiplied (or combined) with "Gal" (meaning great or large), and then added to "Dish" (a standard unit sign). This character was employed in administrative and accounting texts to denote large, compound quantities, such as 3,600 times a great amount plus one, reflecting the complex numerical notations used in Mesopotamian record-keeping for grain, land, or labor.
