ð’’—

U+12497 "ð’’—" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Ha is a rare and specialized glyph from the ancient Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, specifically found within the supplemental block of cuneiform signs used for writing the Sumerian and Akkadian languages. This sign is a compound form that combines the basic cuneiform sign "Dug" (often associated with a pot or vessel) in a phonetic or logographic compound with the sign "Ha," creating a complex character that may represent a specific syllable, word, or determinative in religious, administrative, or literary texts. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that scholars can digitally encode, preserve, and analyze this ancient writing system without needing to rely on custom fonts or approximations, helping to maintain the fidelity of cuneiform studies in modern computing environments.
