U+12491 "ð’’‘" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Dun Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+12491 "ð’’‘" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Dun is a complex logogram from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a combination of the individual signs DUG and DUN to form a composite or ligature used primarily in administrative and economic texts. Its meaning derives from the semantic ranges of its components, where DUG often relates to pottery or vessels and DUN carries associations with the act of pressing or weighing, together suggesting a specific type of container or a standardized measure for commodities like grain or oil. Found on clay tablets dating to the late third and second millennia BCE, this sign exemplifies how scribes created specialized compound symbols to convey precise administrative terminology without relying on phonetic spelling.
