Unicode Version 17.0
ð’’Ž
U+1248E "ð’’Ž" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Ash is a compound sign from the Sumerian cuneiform script, used primarily in the ancient Near East for writing the Sumerian and Akkadian languages. This character represents the phonetic syllable "dùg" but when combined with the sign for "ash", it forms a complex logographic or syllabic value, often appearing in administrative, literary, and ritual texts from the third millennium BCE onward. The sign itself is part of the Unicode Standard's Cuneiform block, encoded to support digital preservation and scholarly study of one of humanity's earliest writing systems, which utilized wedge shaped impressions on clay tablets.
