U+12450 "𒑐" Cuneiform Numeric Sign Two Ban2 is a numeral from the ancient cuneiform script used primarily in Mesopotamia, representing the quantity of two units of a specific dry capacity measure known as a "ban2" (or "ban"). This sign belongs to the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform numeric notation system, which employed wedge shaped symbols to denote various amounts for administrative and economic records, such as accounting for grain or other commodities. The character itself consists of two horizontal wedge markings stacked vertically, visually indicating the number two, and its inclusion in modern text encodings helps preserve and digitally represent complex ancient numeric conventions for scholarly research and linguistic studies.
