Unicode Version 17.0

ð’’®

U+124AE "ð’’®" Cuneiform Sign Ezen Sheshig Times Hi is a symbolic glyph from the ancient cuneiform script, specifically part of the Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform Extended A block. It represents a combination of signs, with "Ezen" typically relating to a festival or feast, "Sheshig" meaning "brother" or a familial term, and "Hi" functioning as a phonetic complement or qualifier, all layered through a multiplicative ("times") ligature. This character was used in administrative, religious, or literary texts from Mesopotamia, inscribed on clay tablets with a reed stylus, and serves as a testament to the complex logographic and syllabic nature of cuneiform writing. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of ancient languages, enabling modern scholars to accurately represent such nuanced composite signs in electronic documents and databases.
