Unicode Version 17.0

𒔆

U+12506 "𒔆" Cuneiform Sign Lak-617 Times La is a graphically encoded glyph from the Cuneiform script, part of the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform block, representing a complex sign derived from the combination of the sign "Lak-617" repeated or modified with the sign "La". It was added to the Unicode Standard as part of version 12.0 in March 2019, specifically to support the Anatolian Hieroglyphs and later cuneiform extensions aimed at preserving and digitally representing rare or compound signs found in ancient Mesopotamian and Hittite texts. This particular character is a compound sign, likely used for phonetic or logographic purposes in scholarly transliterations of cuneiform tablets, and its inclusion allows for more precise textual representation and digital analysis of ancient inscriptions.
