U+12514 "ð’””" Cuneiform Sign Lak-648 Times Shesh Plus Ki Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+12514 "ð’””" Cuneiform Sign Lak-648 Times Shesh Plus Ki is a rare and complex grapheme from the standard cuneiform script repertoire, specifically cataloged in the Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation block of the Unicode Standard. Its name indicates that it is a compound sign formed by taking the base sign Lak-648, multiplying it by the numeric value for the Sumerian word "shesh" (meaning six, represented by six vertical wedges), and then adding the sign for "ki" (earth or place). This character represents a specialized logographic or phonetic combination used in ancient Mesopotamian administrative and scholarly texts, likely denoting a specific numeric or lexical value such as a quantity of land or a commodity measure. Because of its highly specific construction, it is not commonly found in modern digital fonts and often requires specialized cuneiform-aware software or font support for accurate rendering and analysis.
