Unicode Version 17.0
ð’’•
U+12495 "ð’’•" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Gir2 Gunu is a complex logogram from the Sumerian cuneiform script, specifically from the Early Dynastic period, and it represents a ligature formed by combining the sign for "DUG" (a vessel or pot) with the sign "GIR2" (a blade or knife) which has been further modified by the "gunu" or hatched/nuanced addition, likely indicating a specialized or compound meaning related to pottery, cutting, or ritual objects. This character belongs to the Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation block of the Unicode standard and is used primarily in scholarly texts and digital reproductions of ancient Mesopotamian inscriptions, where it helps preserve the precise orthography and semantic nuances of early writing systems.
