ð’”‘

U+12511 "ð’”‘" Cuneiform Sign Lak-648 Times Igi Gunu is a specific sign from the ancient cuneiform script, which was used for writing several languages of the ancient Near East, including Sumerian and Akkadian. This character belongs to the “Cuneiform” block and is named after its entries in the “Lista Arcaica di Kiš” (LAK) catalog as sign number 648, combined with the description “Times Igi Gunu,” indicating it is a variant or compound of the basic “IGI” sign (meaning “eye” or “face”) that has been modified with a “gunu” (hatching or cross-hatching) pattern. Its encoding in Unicode allows for the digital representation and study of this rare and historically significant sign, which likely appeared in administrative, lexical, or literary texts from the early dynastic period of Mesopotamia. The character serves as a valuable resource for scholars working on the transcription and analysis of cuneiform tablets, preserving a small but important piece of humanity’s earliest writing systems.
