Unicode Version 17.0

𒔢

U+12522 "𒔢" Cuneiform Sign Ninda2 Times Dim Gunu is a specific glyph from the ancient Cuneiform script, originating from the Sumerian and Akkadian writing systems of Mesopotamia. This complex sign is composed of the elements "Ninda2" (a variation of the sign for bread or food) combined with "Dim" (meaning to form or create) and further modified with the "Gunu" phonetic or determinative marking, which often indicates a reduplication or a nuanced variation in meaning. It belongs to the Cuneiform block of Unicode, which was encoded to preserve and digitally represent one of the world's earliest writing systems, used for administrative, literary, and linguistic records on clay tablets. While rare in modern usage, this character helps scholars and digital humanists accurately transcribe historical texts, ensuring the preservation of ancient languages and their intricate logographic and syllabic structures.
