Unicode Version 17.0

ð’“”

U+124D4 "ð’“”" Cuneiform Sign Lagab Times Zu over Zu is a specific logographic sign from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, used primarily in the writing of the Sumerian language on clay tablets. This sign is a compound glyph formed by placing the sign for "Lagab" (which typically represents a lump or block) over two "Zu" signs (often associated with knowledge or a vulture-like bird), hence the descriptive name. It was employed in administrative, economic, and literary texts, where such complex signs often conveyed specific syllabic or semantic values in the context of ancient Mesopotamian record keeping. As part of the Cuneiform Unicode block, this character helps modern digital preservation and scholarly analysis of one of humanity's earliest writing systems.
