Unicode Version 17.0

𒔚

U+1251A "𒔚" Cuneiform Sign Lu2 Times Dish is an archaic logogram from the Sumerian cuneiform script, specifically a compound sign formed by combining the signs for "lu2," meaning "person" or "man," and "dish," likely a phonological or phonetic marker. This character was used in ancient Mesopotamian writing to represent a specific word or concept, possibly related to a deity, profession, or administrative term, as cuneiform signs often functioned as determinatives or syllabic components in complex textual systems. Its encoding in the Unicode Standard under the "Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation" block preserves a fragment of the written legacy of early human civilization, allowing modern researchers and digital archivists to accurately transcribe and study clay tablets inscribed with this ancient script.
