U+12499 "ð’’™" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Igi Gunu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+12499 "ð’’™" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Igi Gunu is a complex glyph from the Sumero Akkadian cuneiform script, used primarily in ancient Mesopotamia on clay tablets for writing the Sumerian and Akkadian languages. Its name indicates that it is a compound sign formed by combining the sign DUG (meaning a vessel or pot) with the sign IGI (meaning eye or face) in a multiplicative or ligatured manner, further modified by the "gunu" diacritic which often adds a hatched or cross hatched shading to the base sign to alter its phonetic or semantic value. This character belongs to the Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation block in Unicode, though it is more accurately part of the extensive Early Dynastic Cuneiform repertoire, and it represents a specific lexical or syllabic value in administrative, religious, or literary texts. As a rare and specialized sign, it is primarily of interest to scholars of ancient Near Eastern languages and epigraphy, rather than in modern general use.
