Unicode Version 17.0

ð’’¢

U+124A2 "ð’’¢" Cuneiform Sign Dug Times Mash is a compound cuneiform sign from the Sumero-Akkadian writing system used in ancient Mesopotamia. This specific character represents the combination of two separate cuneiform signs "Dug" and "Mash" combined into a single ligature, often employed for logographic or syllabic purposes in texts. In the context of cuneiform, "Dug" (also read as "dúg" or "tuḫ") commonly relates to concepts of goodness or quality, while "Mash" (often read as "maš") can denote a prefix for numbers or an aspect of perfection. The sign was used primarily in administrative, legal, or literary tablets during the late third to first millennia BCE, reflecting the complex way scribes merged symbols to represent specific phonetic or semantic values.
