Unicode Version 17.0

ð’”“

U+12513 "𒔓" Cuneiform Sign Lak-648 Times Pap Plus Pap Plus Lu3 is a rare and highly specific glyph from the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform script, part of the Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation block. Its complex name indicates it is a compound sign derived from the sign LAK-648 repeated or multiplied with the PAP sign and combined with the LU3 sign, reflecting the scholarly cataloging system used by Assyriologists to label and distinguish the thousands of intricate wedge‑shaped symbols that represented Sumerian and Akkadian syllables, words, or determinatives. This character typically appears in transcriptions of administrative, legal, or literary clay tablets from the third to first millennia BCE, though its exact phonetic or semantic value may remain uncertain due to the fragmentary nature of ancient texts.
