𒒐
U+12490 "𒒐" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Din is a compound cuneiform sign from the Sumero-Akkadian script, formed by combining the sign for "Dug" (a vessel or pot) with the sign for "Din" (meaning life or judgment). It was used in the cuneiform writing system of ancient Mesopotamia, primarily in the Sumerian and Akkadian languages, to represent a specific lexical or phonetic value, often appearing in administrative, legal, or literary texts on clay tablets. This character belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block in Unicode, which encodes archaic signs from the 3rd millennium BCE, preserving the complex logographic and syllabic nature of one of the world's earliest writing systems.
