U+1248D "𒒍" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Anshe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𒒍
U+1248D "𒒍" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Anshe is a compound cuneiform symbol from the Early Dynastic period of ancient Mesopotamia, composed of the signs for "DUG" (a type of pot or vessel) and "ANŠE" (meaning donkey or ass), resulting in a logographic combination used in administrative or lexical texts. This rare glyph, found primarily in Sumerian script, likely represented a specific commodity, profession, or ritual concept related to its constituent elements, though its exact meaning remains debated among scholars. It belongs to the supplementary cuneiform block of Unicode, which encodes signs from the third millennium BCE, and is one of many composite characters illustrating the complex agglutinative nature of cuneiform writing.
