Unicode Version 17.0

𒓇

U+124C7 "𒓇" Cuneiform Sign Ga2 Times Shim is a logographic sign from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, formed by combining the signs for "GA2" (a house or enclosure) and "SHIM" (an aromatic substance or plant), with the "times" notation indicating that these two components are merged into a single complex sign. This specific character was used in ancient Mesopotamian writing to represent a specific word or concept, most likely a term related to storage, a type of building, or a particular substance, reflecting the scribal practice of creating new signs by compounding existing ones. It belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block of the Unicode Standard and is encoded for scholarly use in the digital representation of ancient texts, allowing researchers to accurately transcribe and publish historical documents without loss of graphical detail.
