Unicode Version 17.0

ð’’‰

U+12489 "ð’’‰" Cuneiform Sign Dag Times Kur is a complex logographic sign from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, specifically formed by composing the sign "DAG" (meaning "broad" or "spacious") with the sign "KUR" (meaning "mountain" or "land") written inside it, a ligature that often appears in the Hittite and Anatolian cuneiform traditions. This character was used to represent a distinct syllabic or phonetic value in writing, potentially encoding a word or concept related to a spacious mountain or a specific place name, and it resides in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane within the Cuneiform block of the Unicode Standard. Its inclusion enables precise digital representation of ancient cuneiform tablets, preserving the nuanced orthography of scribes who employed such compound signs to denote meanings or sounds not conveyed by simpler characters.
